Vážení,
mnozí z vás jistě vědí, že dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah byl minulý týden uveden do funkce rektora Glasgowské univerzity. Celý historický projev dr. Abu-Sittaha naleznete zde: Ghassan Abu-Sittah: "Zítřek je palestinský den" | Progressive International, píší akademické odbory na Glasgow University.
Den po svém uvedení do funkce rektora v Glasgow byl dr. Abu-Sittah zadržen a byl mu odepřen vstup do Německa, kde měl vystoupit na konferenci o Palestině. Připojte se prosím k mimořádnému protestu na znamení solidarity s Dr. Abu-Sittahem, který svolaly studentské skupiny na středu 17. dubna v 18 hodin na Library Hill.
Zveme také všechny členy k účasti na následující akci sponzorované naší odborovou pobočkou UCUG, Glasgow Legal Theory Group a Glasgow Middle East Forum.
"Věže ze slonoviny, věže z oceli: Izraelské univerzity a útlak Palestinců".
