We, the students and staff members, establish the FREE UNIVERSITY OF GAZA – CAMPUS UPPSALA
to help Uppsala University accomplish its mission, goal and obligations. We are here to disseminate knowledge “for the benefit of humankind and for a better world”, in accordance with the University’s mission statement.
WE URGE UPPSALA UNIVERSITY TO SPEAK UP AGAINST THE GENOCIDE!
The UU Vice Chancellor wrote that we have a “natural commitment” to react “when the freedom of research is under threat and when the ability of our colleagues to pursue research and studies throughout the world is restricted.”
The Israeli army has killed at least 94 university professors and 5881 university students. It destroyed all twelve universities in Gaza, 40% of schools, 195 heritage sites and the Central Archive of Gaza. UU must honor its commitment.
WE URGE UPPSALA UNIVERSITY TO PROVIDE HELP, FUNDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE PALESTINIAN UNIVERSITIES AND SCHOLARS!
UU aims to contribute to the “public debate with freedom of expression and human rights at its heart.” The Israeli violations of humanitarian law have been reported by aid organizations, governmental agencies and international bodies. We have familiarized the Vice Chancellor with the complicity of Israeli universities in the ongoing massacre of Palestinians. While the UU administration was not able to provide information on collaboration with complicit universities, we have discovered agreements with at least two Israeli universities that are actively supporting the Israeli military.
WE URGE UPPSALA UNIVERSITY TO BREAK TIES WITH ISRAELI INSTITUTIONS COMPLICIT IN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS!
