Geneva University students stand firm in their support for Palestine despite warnings

By Muhammet Ikbal Arslan

GENEVA (AA) – Geneva University students in Switzerland have continued to support Palestine since May 7, despite the university rectorate's warning to "evacuate the campus."

Students continued their protests on Sunday, with hundreds of people outside the campus demonstrating their support for Palestinians, and the number of supporters on the streets grew.

Students without their identity cards are denied access to campus by university security personnel.

Europe has become the new center of student demonstrations in support of Palestine, which started at Columbia University in the US in mid-April.

More than 2,500 people have been detained so far in protests in which the police intervened at the request of the administrations at many universities in the US.

Students at universities around the world are gathering on their campuses to support the demonstrations that started at Columbia University and to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza.

University protests in European countries continued after Israel decided to continue its attacks in Rafah after Hamas announced that it had agreed to the "cease-fire proposals."
