Brussels, May 7 (RHC)-- In Belgium, some 100 students occupied part of Ghent University (UGent) to protest Israel's genocidal war of aggression against Gaza.

Footage shared on social media shows students surrounded by tents chanting “Hey hey, ho ho, the occupation has to go” in one university building.

Several UGent employees and professors have signed an open letter supporting the protest and condemning the university’s decision to continue research collaboration with Israel.

“UGent never gives permission to occupy buildings, but if this happens, a general framework of agreements applies,” rector Rik Van de Walle said in a statement.  He added that UGent subjects universities with which it collaborates to a human rights investigation.
