Melbourne, April 27 (RHC)-- Students from the University of Melbourne, Australia, continue a sit-in at the Gaza solidarity encampment on the school’s main campus.

The organizers of the sit-in encouraged protesters to bring tents, sleeping bags and blankets to the south lawn of the main campus for the protest that began Thursday morning and as part of the demands have said they will not move "until the university ceases to be complicit in the devastation of Gaza."

They also demand that the institution cut ties with arms manufacturers with ties to Israel and demand an end to the Israeli aggression underway against the Gaza Strip.

The Green MP for Brunswick, Tim Read, said:  "Any of the companies may have something to do with the bombing, the massacre and the genocide that is taking place in Gaza right now is indescribable.  It is unacceptable and the university has a responsibility to sever all ties with the arms manufacturers.

For its part, the University of Melbourne previously issued a statement claiming that the university has no ties to the Israel Defense Forces, and that "a small group of students is exercising their right to protest on our Parkville campus this Anzac Day."
