‼️‼️ MAAGDENHUIS OCCUPIED, JOIN US NOW AT DR. SIRIN AL-ATTAR HOUSE ‼️‼️

Join us now at Maagdenhuis, bring water, food, sleeping mats and bags, barricade materials, flags and banners.

Today marks the first occupation of the year at the University of Amsterdam. We have reclaimed the building in honour of Dr Sirin Mohammed Al-Attar, a dedicated UNRWA gynaecologist who was tragically martyred in al-Bureij camp on October 11th 2023.

Dr Sirin does not stand alone, she is one of the at least 62.614 Palestinians who have been killed by the ‘Israeli’ Zionist regime.

When our government fails us, it becomes our duty to resist.

After countless fail attempts to go into dialogue with the UvA on their ties to Israeli universities that act complicit to the genocide, we see no other choice but to resist, and therefore occupy this building.

All that has come from our previous actions has been the UvA cutting an exchange programme with Hebrew university, and we are enraged by their desire to renew this tie.

We are loud in reclaiming our university, and do so in solidarity for Palestinian liberation.

We will remain until the UvA boycotts and divests.
