Brisbane and Sydney, Australia CNN —The grassy expanse of the University of Queensland’s Great Court has long been the center of student life at the Australian state’s biggest university.
“We will not be intimidated by these people,” said Students for Palestine Monash representative Madeline Curkovic.
In response, the Sydney branch of Students for Palestine issued a call-out on Facebook to “defend” the camp.
Students say they will stay at the University of Sydney for as long as it takes for their demands to be met.
The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) has called on Australian universities to protect the right of students to peaceful protest, saying their action is justified.
