Sussex Uni still occupied!

Sussex occupation | 23.01.2009 14:40 | University Occupations for Gaza | Education | Free Spaces | Palestine | Social Struggles | South Coast

Three days in and going strong.

We occupied a main lecture theatre on Tuesday night and have since been staging a silent non-discruptive occupation during lectures and using the space for educational talks, organisational meetings and discussions during those hours when it would otherwise not be in use. Last night saw a record number of people sleeping over in the occupied room. University management have now engaged with us and we will continue to discuss their response in tonight's general meeting at 7pm. We will continue to occupy over the weekend, organising workshops and other events, and until our demands are met.

Please check the blog for up to date information.

The idea behind occupation

Hey there,

Do you not think that occupying and allowing lectures to go on is like doing a road blockade and letting cars through?

Well done...

That happen anyway if you think about it... ;)
