Open letter calling on Imperial to ‘take a stand against war crimes’ gains over 1,000 signatures
Over the course of three days, an open letter to Imperial has gained over 1,000 signatures. The letter asks Imperial to issue a ‘point blank condemnation’ of the bombing of health facilities, the killing of medics, journalists and UN officials, and Israel’s ‘illegal blockade’ of the Gaza Strip.
It wants the College to ‘begin taking steps to stop the purchase of any goods made by Israel or Hamas’, and to use its ‘standing as a leading institution to lobby the government’ to demand a ceasfire.
Most of the signatories claim to be Imperial students, staff and alumni, although some members of the public have also signed.
