The girls and boys of the student unions who have been on garrison with tents inside La Sapienza University for three days are chained and have been on hunger strike since yesterday. "Our country is not yet willing to work to build the conditions for peace, but there is no more time," reads an appeal written by the students. "We are chained and on hunger strike in front of the rectorate of La Sapienza because it is from the heart of the largest university in Europe that getting a step back from those who are complicit in genocide can produce important change. The students' mobilization aims to express solidarity with the Palestinian people and is a protest against Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, following Tuesday's clashes with police. As a result of the very unrest, two students were arrested and a summary hearing was held. The 28-year-old woman who was arrested was released by the judge: charges against her are resisting a public official and injury, and her trial will be held on May 22. In the courtroom she denied all charges. The parents: "Our daughter has no record and is an honors graduate in International Cooperation. She was at the university on Tuesday to accompany a friend from Padua, was confronted by deployed law enforcement and was taken away by policemen. She had a job interview”.
