Students call for divestment from firms complicit in Israeli occupation of Palestine on UN Day of Solidarity
Students at the University of Manchester demand institution divest from firms complicit in illegal Israeli occupation on UN day of solidarity with Palestine
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
STUDENTS at campuses across Britain today called on university leaders to divest from firms involved in Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.
The action was taken to coincide with the United Nations international day of solidarity with Palestinian people, observed every year on November 29.
Universities in Britain have investments worth over £450 million in companies complicit in Israeli apartheid, according to 2020 research carried out by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PCS).
