Employees are not allowed to say that genocide is taking place in Palestine, management is stopping seminars, and the autonomy of institutional boards is being restricted. Researchers, rectors and employees at Lund University are now sounding the alarm that academic freedom is under attack.

Verweigerung aus Gewissensgründen

We are thousands and we are all across Europe, but we need to grow our numbers even more to make our institutions listen. /3

European Declaration

The UPPSALA DECLARATION OF CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION now has 2,769 signatories. The EUROPEAN DECLARATION OF CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION has 4,699. The VERWEIGERUNG AUS GEWISSENSGRÜNDEN only has 434, but they take the largest personal risks. /2

Uppsala Declaration

We all want to move on with our lives, yet the violence continues. The killing continues. The occupation continues. The colonisation continues. More than 9,000 Palestinian hostages are still in Israeli detention. /1
