الشرطة تفضّ اعتصام جنيف وسط اتّساع رقعة الاحتجاجات في الجامعات السويسرية دعماً لفلسطين
They evacuated the 50 or so protesters who had refused to leave, according to the Swiss News Agency Keystone-ATS.
Around 20 police officers in uniform and plainclothes entered the UniMail building at around 5am, said the news agency’s journalist on the scene. The officers carried out identity checks and evacuated the students.
The University of Geneva (UNIGE) upped the stakes on Monday after the failure of negotiations, announcing that it was filing a criminal complaint for trespass against the pro-Palestinian students.
In a letter to the university community, the university’s rector Audrey Leuba called on the members of the Student Coordination for Palestine to respect the ultimatum given and to vacate the premises peacefully.
Incidents
While the rectory said it understood “the support and solidarity shown by the collective towards the victims of the Gaza conflict”, it asked them to respect safety rules and legal limits.
The pro-Palestinian students are calling on the UNIGE to take a stand in favour of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and to end its collaboration with Israeli universities and research institutes.
Several incidents linked to the occupation have occurred in the past week. To avoid any escalation, the UNIGE decided on Saturday evening to restrict access to the UniMail building to members of the university community. Security guards screened the entrances.
