6 September 2024

Last update: Friday, 6 September, 16:00. On 6 September, demonstrators once again expressed their anger and frustration over the situation in Gaza and Israel. Thanks to everyone involved, the demonstration at the Roeterseiland Campus went smoothly. The protest then moved towards the Maagdenhuis in the city center of Amsterdam.

Everyone at the UvA is free to demonstrate and make their voice heard; this is part of the university's values. However, the basic principle is that demonstrations should remain peaceful and that the campus should remain socially and physically safe for everyone on and around the campus.
