An Irish university yields to protesters’ demands to cut off investments with Israeli entity’s companies
The prestigious Irish university, Trinity College, announced that it would abandon its investments in companies of the Israeli occupation entity listed on the United Nations blacklist.
This move comes following widespread protests at the university demanding an end to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the severing of relations with the Zionist entity.
Agence France-Presse reported that students at the university located in the Irish capital, Dublin, yesterday ended their protest that lasted about five days after the university responded to their demands, announcing on its website that “an agreement was reached after successful discussions between the university administration and the demonstrators.”
Laszlo Molnarvy, chairman of the university’s student union, said in a statement to the Irish Radio and Television Corporation: The Trinity College statement shows the strength of the student movement.
The demonstrators began their movement in solidarity with Palestine last Friday against the backdrop of the increase in these movements and the widespread protests in support of the Palestinian people in Europe and the United States, where the students set up dozens of tents in several places inside the university campus, and blocked the entrances to the library, which contains the “Book of Kells,” a famous manuscript from the Middle Ages which is a destination of the tourists in the Irish capital.
