No business as usual when genocide is going on!
As the Uppsala University community gathered for the spring concert, we drew attention to the genocide in Gaza and its impact on students, and scholars.
According to the UN, “After six months of military assault, more than 5,479 students, 261 teachers, and 95 university professors have been killed in Gaza, and over 7,819 students and 756 teachers have been injured – with numbers growing each day.

It has been one month since this UN report and while this genocide is still ongoing, Uppsala University continues to collaborate with Tel Aviv University and Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israeli universities that actively support and enable this genocide. They endorse the IOF’s war crimes, they develop military strategy and technological expertise, and they train and financially support members of the IOF.

We have made our university aware of these ties, we have made our university aware of their complicity and still they refuse to disclose their collaborations and investments in complicit Israeli institutions. They have refused to cut ties with these complicit Israeli institutions. They have refused to extend support to Palestinian academics and students.

Uppsala University – wake up. The people you so proudly claim to protect are being killed in the hundreds. You proved your commitment to human rights and academia when Russia invaded Ukraine. But where are you now?

Day 6! Come join us in the Free University of Gaza – Campus Uppsala for a day full of community and solidarity 🍉

Day 5 at the Free University of Gaza – Campus Uppsala: Today we presented our demands at the weekly demonstration organized by @palestinska_folketsforening. We once again urged @uppsalauniversity to do its duty to protect academia in Palestine and cease its complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

At camp, we held a workshop on the art of embroidery, an important practice within Palestinian culture. We will keep cultivating a just and free space for learning and sharing knowledge, until our university takes on this role once again.
