Studenter avbryter Lunds universitets studentsamverkansmöte, där kommunstyrelsens arbetsutskott och representanter från Lunds universitets studentkår, Kuratorskollegiet och Akademiska Föreningen deltog.

Studenternas krav:

”Today you are all meeting here, heads of student life in Lund and politicians. Today also marks our 8th day of our encampment at Palestinagården, and 8th month of trying to have a dialogue with the administration about the university’s ties with the genocide of the Palestinian people.

All this time we have tried everything to be heard. We have asked nicely, demonstrated, disrupted, encamped: all because we want our institution to stop its silence, to stand up for human rights, and to defend the right to life of the Palestinian people. While you are meeting here, Israel is slaughtering innocent children, women, and men. At the same time, this university refuses to disclose, let alone end, all collaborations it has with institutions and companies actively involved in committing these crimes against humanity.

We no longer accept our institution’s silence. We no longer accept being part of the Western complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people. We cannot accept you having a meeting about student life in Lund without speaking about all the Palestinian students in Gaza, the West Bank, and here in Lund who are waking up every day to new horrors committed upon them with the support of this very institution.

Hear us now. This is a call to all of your consciences. Show your solidarity, make public statements, let our voices be heard.

LU, Vakna!!”
