Freedom of Speech demonstration at Nottingham Uni

Freedom of Speech Fighter | 19.02.2008 15:49 | Repression | Social Struggles

A demonstration will take place this Thursday the 21st February, 12pm, starting outside the lake side of the Portland building in response to the arrest of an innocent student on campus during a peaceful protest and the continual curtailment of free speech at the University.

Freedom of Speech Fighters


Why the need for protest?

* During a peaceful protest the University called the police onto campus resulting in the arrest of an innocent student:  https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/nottinghamshire/2007/12/387118.html

* The University banned another student from the library duing exams due to a campaign to reduce library card replacement costs.

* Students campaigning against increasing accommodation fees, and decreasing porters/chefs/breakfasts in halls were fined £30, whilst their petition was disallowed.

The demonstration will call for:

1. The right to free speech on campus and the official recognition of students' right to engage in protest, demonstration or campaign on University property.

2. The right to engage in a peaceful protest without the fear or threat of having police called on campus to break up non-violent demonstrations.

3. The right not to fear intimidation or arrest by University Authorities, University Security or the Police when engaging in a peaceful demonstration.

4. The right not to be fined for or refused to have or distribute a petition or to have or hold a peaceful demonstration.

5. The right to engage in the aforementioned activities without having to request prior permission.

The organisers wish to stress that this will be a completely peaceful, non-violent, respectful protest to put forward the view that the University should not consider its authority above that of human rights and international law.
