ENCAMPMENT SU DAY 32: Marking the one month anniversary of our encampment – today was really a day to remember! Together with encampments coming to the capital from other parts of the country – we established Palestina-parlamentet aka the Palestine Parliament, just outside the Swedish Riksdag. While we were setting up, the encampment at KTH was being torn down and the students dragged away. However our comrades put up a good and righteous fight! And some of them came and joined the rest of us outside of Parliament. In yet another part of the city, we also had comrades making sure to give the visiting presidents of Chile and Colombia a personalised letter each, urging them to put diplomatic pressure on the Swedish government to do what is morally juste, and boycott Israeli institutions and companies complicit in the occupation, oppression, apartheid and genocide of the Palestinian people!
Although a bit tired from all of the action today – we are not downcast, to the contrary – we are even more sure and committed to the fight for a free Palestine!
In one measly month’s time – together, and with all the support from civil society, we have achieved a lot – and we are only getting started.
