A heartfelt and powerful statement by Ukrainian LU staff in solidarity with Palestine. It was read out today by a Palestinian student at the press conference in Palestinagård.

“Now that not a single university is left standing in Gaza, when thousands of students and hundreds of staff, including vice chancellors, deans, professors, were slaughtered, Lund University is silent. Not only is it silent – it continues collaborations with Israeli universities, known to aid and abet occupation, apartheid and now genocide.”

“To this, as a member of staff and as a Ukrainian academic, I say: “not in my name”. I stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, with my Palestinian colleagues and students, and with the brave students who stand here demanding our University to do better. From Ukraine to Palestine, occupation is a crime!”

Thank you for this beautiful and powerful statement.
We urge Lund University @lunduniversity to listen to its students and staff and engage in meaningful dialogue with us.
