One of the few principled human rights champions left in Congress
One of the few principled human rights champions left in Congress
New: A coalition of 185 social justice groups published an open letter today expressing support for campus protest encampments sweeping the country and calling on university administrators to end the brutal crackdowns of the student-led demonstrations. huffpost.com/entry/human-ri…
UN Rights Chief troubled by a series of heavy-handed steps taken to disperse and dismantle peaceful protests on campuses: “It must be clear that legitimate exercises of the freedom of expression cannot be conflated with incitement to violence and hatred.” ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
Yes, whether you agree with their protest or not, ALL students peacefully protesting Israel’s mass atrocities in Gaza and calling for divestment are considered human rights defenders.

At New York University, "the president hasn't even talked to the students, doesn't want to talk to the students who are protesting." @jdakwar says students should have the chance to peacefully protest against the war in Gaza and engage with universities about their demands.
TONIGHT ON AYMAN: American universities have a long history of protests, including pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Our all-star panel @jdakwar, @mm1124 and @PeterBeinart will be here to discuss how protest movements are often indicators of where we're headed.
NEW: “The @StateDept should immediately invoke Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act & suspend all military assistance to Israel in light of extensive evidence, inc a leaked State Dept memo, documenting Israel’s blocking of U.S aid to Gaza” dawnmena.org/u-s-state-depa…
Sends an important message to NYU leadership that involving NYPD against peaceful protest and assembly is dangerous and unacceptable.

UN expert on education will visit the United States to examine the implementation of the right to education including ensuring non-discriminatory access to quality education, academic freedom in educational institutions and the issue of safety in schools. ohchr.org/en/media-advis…
Laurel Krause whose sister Allison was murdered at Kent State University in 1970 during anti-war protest warns universities not to use police or militarized responses against peaceful protests: “We must not repeat the horrors of Kent State 54 years later” sparrowmedia.net/2024/04/laurel…
University officials do a deep disservice when they respond to the concerns of one group at expense of another, or when they assume all individuals within any group share the same viewpoint. New Yorkers should be able to voice their support for Palestine without fearing the NYPD.
NEW: I spoke to Palestinian-American NYU adjunct professor @jdakwar about witnessing the cops’ crackdown on campus protesters, addressing antisemitism, and the student movement to end genocide. Our full conversation here: thehandbasket.co/p/jamil-dakwar…
Columbia president and its general counsel may be better off retaining the legal services of @knightcolumbia or at least take seriously their advise and concerns around persistent free speech and academic freedom violations happening on campus. knightcolumbia.org/blog/knight-in…
Statement from faculty via the American Association of University Professors in response to NYU’s statement on the use of violent police response to disperse the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, detailing how an outsized NYPD response caused safety problems — not the students.

US military's pier in Gaza to cost $320 million (Reuters) - The U.S. military's cost estimate to build a pier off Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid has risen to $320 million
The United Arab Emirates have been violating the UN arms embargo in Darfur to support the RSF, which the State Department recently determined is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity. If we want to end the war in Sudan, we must stop selling weapons to those that are…
Thanks, @Ilhan for introducing this bill to block selling U.S. arms to the #UAE because it violates the UN arms embargo in Darfur by transferring arms to the RSF militia. A step we need to save the lives of millions of Sudanese and help end this war. omar.house.gov/media/press-re…
Strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs) can turn justice against free speech. They can be used to silence journalists & activists reporting on the #environmental crisis. Learn more in our side event on 4 May at 10 am UTC-4 (4 pm CEST). ow.ly/1Y9k50RrwiJ
Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
I'm hearing disturbing reports that students face suspension if they don’t end their peaceful protests in #Columbiauniversity in the USA. This is a clear violation of their right to peaceful assembly
Note—this was all *before* the encampment protests began:
Columbia University hired private investigators to pursue pro-Palestine students. Vanderbilt University canceled a divestment vote, then expelled students after they protested. Pomona College sent police officers in riot gear to arrest 20 students. @prem_thakker reports,…
Students at McGill have launched their encampment McGill University held $74 million in direct investment in companies complicit in upholding the apartheid and financing the Genocide McGill Uni students demand that the Uni divest from companies complicit in Israels occupation
#GTMO Evan Kohlmann enters the remote hearing facility in VA to testify as a government witness in the 9/11 case. He is identified as an "international terrorism specialist." 🧵
I took this video 😃
HAPPENING NOW: University of Vermont setting up Day 1 of their encampment, joining the nationwide campus movement for Gaza.
Putting inside the fact that this man defended both South African apartheid and the Iraq war, it is incredible how he writes with authority about something he knows nothing about. I have been going to the GW encampment every day and there is more incredible sense of community…
Why has the Gaza war spun colleges into chaos? Because campuses have weakened as actual communities, where people mingle, interact and get to know and trust each other. My latest column: cnn.com/2024/04/26/opi…
At New York University, "the president hasn't even talked to the students, doesn't want to talk to the students who are protesting." @jdakwar says students should have the chance to peacefully protest against the war in Gaza and engage with universities about their demands.
NEW: “The @StateDept should immediately invoke Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act & suspend all military assistance to Israel in light of extensive evidence, inc a leaked State Dept memo, documenting Israel’s blocking of U.S aid to Gaza” dawnmena.org/u-s-state-depa…
The @ColumbiaSpec is doing amazing work covering the Columbia student protests right now. I got to meet the staff and editor in chief @isabellasrmrz this year and came away so inspired for the future of the industry.

Maybe you can ask him about the mass graves
How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped? Why do we not know more? Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?
A @vtdigger journalist should develop this story and ask Patrick Leahy himself about this. They should interview UVM admin, faculty, and students about the decision to host/honor Thomas-Greenfield.
IFJ - International Federation of Journalists supports the call from Palestinian press in Gaza to boycott tonight's White House Correspondents' Dinner.
USA 🇺🇸 The IFJ supports the call of the @InfoPJS to boycott the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight. More than 100 journalists and media workers have been killed in the past six months of Israel’s war on Gaza, backed by the United States government. pjs.ps/?p=2987
"You were present at the encampment at 10:30"... Welcome to the panopticon.
Some tenured faculty members at @BrownUniversity are being threatened with vague disciplinary action after having visited the encampments. They received this email from the Dean of Faculty. I’ve confirmed at least 2, but there are at least 2 more I am hearing about beyond that.
