The senate of the University of #Barcelona (UB) approves a motion calling for the university to break all institutional and academic ties with Israel, including centers, research institutes, companies, and other institutions in Israel
The Irish 🇮🇪 students at Trinity have won divestment 🎉:
“TCD said that the university "will complete a divestment from investments in Israeli companies that have activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and appear on the UN blacklist in this regard".
Trinity has agreed to work towards total divestment from Israeli institutions in an unprecedented victory for Trinity Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (#BDS).
Trinity encampment protestors, who have camped in Fellows’ Square for five nights, have unanimously agreed to accept College’s terms on cutting ties.
They have confirmed they will not officially leave the encampment at Fellows’ Square until College issues their own statement.
This statement is expected to be forthcoming this afternoon, meaning the encampment will end this evening.
