Hundreds of students gathered in the city centre today
Leeds University students have come together in the Parkinson Building of the University of Leeds to demand that the uni responds to their open letter calling for what they called "an end to the university's complicity in Israeli apartheid".
Students are reportedly demanding a negotiation over their letter in support of Palestine. The university has reportedly ignored their months-long movement, despite their open letter being signed by hundreds of students and numerous organisations.The protesters' statement claimed: "Just a few hours ago, the university declared that they would not allow anyone or anything into the building and would only let people out. The students remain steadfast in their dedication to this occupation, and thus the university has committed themselves to starving the students out.
"As a widely supported and unrelenting movement, it is imperative that you report on this student occupation and the march tomorrow. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Leeds residents will gather to have their voices heard, and to make sure those of the students inside the Parkinson Building are heard too. As reporters of fair journalism, neglecting to cover this significant event would oppose the values that you are committed to.
