Pro-Palestine activists once again occupied the University of Bern on Thursday - this time for one day. According to a statement, they are calling for the university to take a stance against the "genocide" in Palestine and for an academic boycott.
The University of Bern must also take a stand against "settlement colonialism" in Palestine and for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, according to a statement issued by the activists on Thursday morning. To this end, it must not only disclose its "academic, military and economic" links with Israeli institutions, but also cut them. The activists also demanded that the university take responsibility for its "complicity in genocide and settlement colonialism".
When the first occupation took place in mid-May, the University of Bern announced that it would not tolerate any restriction of academic freedom by activist circles.
