Student protests against Israel now in Bangladesh 

Students of the United State of America first protested against Israeli genocide and aggression in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Within few days, campus protests spread over 50 countries. Student protest has also spread to  Bangladesh.

Students are going to protest in front of the USA embassy in Dhaka against Israel's genocide in Palestine and US support to the country. Preparations have been taken to organize this protest program at 11 am on Thursday (May 9).  

In the meantime, the Bangladesh Chhatra League held rallies and demonstrations in solidarity with the ongoing student movement worldwide demanding the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on May 6 and an end to the brutality of the Israeli forces in Palestine. In addition, the organization has raised the Palestinian flag and held marches and student rallies in pre-announced programs across the country.

The protest spread across Europe as some called for a break in academic ties with Israel over the war in Gaza, while schools increasingly faced the question under debate in the U.S.

German police broke up a protest by several hundred pro-Palestinian activists who had occupied a courtyard at Berlin’s Free University. Protesters occupied a university building in Amsterdam hours after police detained 169 people at a different campus location. Two remained in custody on suspicion of committing public violence.

Elsewhere in Europe, some student camps have been allowed to stay in places like the lawns of Cambridge. In recent days, students have held protests or set up encampments in Finland, Denmark, Italy, Spain, France and Britain.

In Berlin, protesters put up about 20 tents and formed a human chain around them. Most covered their faces with medical masks and draped keffiyeh scarves around their heads, shouting slogans such as “Viva, viva Palestina.”
