Pro-Palestinian protest camps popped up at the University of Calgary and University of Alberta this morning. The protesters have clear demands of their university administration, which include disclosing their investments and divesting from Israeli institutions and companies complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
The Calgary camp is seeking a full academic boycott of institutions complicit in the occupation of Palestine, as well as academic and mental health support for Palestinian students. They’re asking the university adopt an anti-Palestinian racism definition on campus, recognition of the Palestinian genocide and a public statement condeming the atrocities committed by Israel.
The Edmonton camp is asking for the university of of Alberta to condemn the genocide and call on the Canadian government to end all military contracts with Israel.
Neither camp is planning to leave until their demands are met. (more...)
