Birzeit University has been raided 26 times since 2002. Here’s the breakdown from @Right2Edu Campaign’s latest report:
Between 2002–2017, Birzeit University faced repeated Israeli military raids, including live fire at students, abductions by undercover units, assaults on campus guards, and raids during exams. Documented raids occurred in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2011, 2014, 2016, 2017.
Despite ongoing attempts to undermine, isolate and silence them, Palestinian faculty and students continue their educational mission, resisting this systematic assault on their universities.
