Sit-in for Palestine @ HKU Oudenoord

HKU Oudenoord, Utrecht, maandag 26 mei om 12:00 CEST

HKU for Palestine (source)

Coming Monday the 26th of May, HKU4Palestine will organise a sit-in in the Atrium of Oudenoord.

We do this to urge the CVB (College Van Bestuur) to finally meet our demands, listed below.

Despite our numerous attempts to convince the CVB of the importance of these demands, after more than a year, the CVB has been incapable of meeting these demands and breaking ties with Israel.

Therefore, we will inform the CVB that our demands have not changed.

Please join our sit-in, attend our workshops and join forces. HKU students and staff, let’s finally mobilize!

Our demands:

•⁠ ⁠The HKU must write a statement that clearly rejects the genocide, disproportionate violence, and impending ethnic cleansing committed by Israel

•⁠ ⁠The HKU must sever ties with Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design

•⁠ ⁠The HKU must investigate any connections with Israeli institutions, companies and investors, making these public, and severing these ties

Please bring some materials to make stuff for the protesting or for your own patches etc. think about fabric, cardboard and markers. Also please bring instruments so we can make some noise! (or nice music occasionally).

The sit in will be inspired by the character of the UU encampment - so we can connect, learn and make a statement! If you can also bring food for the HKU Student Union’s potluck in the evening!
