April 17, 2024

After Tuesday’s clashes, the protest of the Sapienza collectives in Rome continues against the agreements with Israel. “Since this morning we have declared that we are on an indefinite hunger strike until the rector Polimeni takes steps forward towards us and listens to our requests”, said Francesca Lini of Cambiare Rotta, on the sidelines of the press conference organized by the university collectives outside the rector’s building where two boys are still chained. “Last night it happened that La Sapienza, and we are primarily angry with the rector Polimeni, decided once again to outsource the management of the relationship with the students and the academic community to the police,” he states Leonardo Cusmai of Changing Course. “It then happened that the procession at the gates of the university city was charged several times by riot police,” continues the activist, who clarifies that there was no type of assault on the police station, after the arrest of two demonstrators: “The intention was to show him maximum solidarity in front of the police station”. Meanwhile, the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza continues, despite student protests.
