Hamas Movement strongly condemned “the criminal assault carried out against a peaceful student protest at An-Najah University by university security guards as an unacceptable and reprehensible act of thuggery.”
In a statement issued Tuesday the Movement held “the university administration which took a biased stance against the law and the free student activism full responsibility for such actions”.
“We reiterate the necessity for all inciters and those involved in the attack on students to be held to account along with anyone seeking to enforce security inflammatory agenda that violates Palestinian values and national and student interests” the statement reads.
Hamas further called on the Palestinian national and Islamic factions to assume their role in protecting An-Najah University and all educational institutions and the freedom of student activism and urged the An-Najah University’s Board of Trustees to take on their responsibility towards the university from such abhorrent attacks.
