A previous version of our statement dated 8/6/24 was published without the inclusion of the above paragraph. All subsequent publications should include the following:

There are currently lots of us camped on Palace Green being told none of our demands will be met in a timely manner due to slow university processes. Yet it appears that there is ample time to produce VC grammar briefing sheets? Thanks, Durham! Priorities in order, as ever.

Solidarity to our friends in Newcastle!

Deja vu? Durham Students for Palestine 1978 Students have called on Durham University to withdraw its account from Barclays Bank because of its South African apartheid connections. reed.dur.ac.uk/xtf/view?docId…

Here is a picture of the innocent coconuts outside Westminster Magistrates Court before they were arrested by the Met Police. We are not sure which station they have been taken to, but we will make sure they have a good solicitor and are provided with arrestee support. 🥥

2 students who used chalk to write a Palestine solidarity message on Liverpool Uni campus got arrested & thrown in the back of a police van Yet today 100s have attacked Muslim stalls, Asian owned shops, smashed windows of homes & physically assaulted women. Openly & freely

.Durham UCU (@ducu.bsky.social) Durham UCU PGRs - please circulate this important call from Durham Students for Palestine to stop this horrific anti-Palestinian event from happening at Durham Union.

Any such "debate" would be beyond tone-deaf. For over a year we have been forced to watch an unfolding genocide. "Debating" who is most to blame for that is ridiculous and offensive.

What our mentions are looking like today. Broad condemnation and requests from encampments across the country asking Abdullah al Andalusi/Abdullah al Andalusi (2nd account) to withdraw. There is still time to do the right thing.

One Durham student arrested we are currently blocking the van. He is being taken to Durham city station, please mobilise.

We are sharing a statement from the President of DUISOC. Those quick enough to call out an alleged attack on freedom of speech should be just as quick to condemn the horrendous Islamophobic rhetoric littered all over the Union ‘debate’
