Discussions start with the vice-chancellor

Following an invitation from the University administration for 3 representatives from our occupation to attend a meeting with Alan Ingle and Susan Price this morning we have opened discussions on our demands. We made significant progress, but will not be moving until we have recevied written authorisation of every single demand being met. The demand that the University is most hesitant about is the public statement condemning Israels blockade of Gaza and the recent atrocities carried out by Israel on the people of Gaza. For many of us this is in some ways the most important demand and we are determined that this gets met.

Thank you for the continued support, the text messages are greatly appreciated.

Please come to our meeting at 5.pm today, our guest speaker John Rose is a fantastic speaker on the issue of Justice for Palestine. Following this the film maker Phil Maxwell will be introducing his anti-war film "Not in our name".

Hope to see you all soon!

  1. condemning Israels blockade of Gaza and the recent atrocities carried out by Israel on the people of Gaza is indeed a priority demand. What are they being politically correct with? APARTHEID AND ETHNIC CLEANSING?! Shame on them! Does your university want you to be a herd of sheep or leaders of good will!
    Keep protesting! Good for you!
