COPS, CORPORATIONS, CAMERAS OFF OUR CAMPUS – SOLIDARITY WITH ARRESTEES OF THE ANTI-SHELL PROTEST AT TU EINDHOVEN

We went out in the night to do banner drops in solidarity with the arrestees of the anti-shell protesters at the TU Eindhoven. Once again activist got repressed by, this time not only the cops, but also the university it self. Universities are supposed to be spaces that encourage scientific and critical thought, yet in the middle of climate collapse they invite Shell on campus to recruit students. Instead the TU Eindhoven chooses to call the cops on students for bringing their critical thought into practice.

One of the arrestees allegedly said “Fuck the police” and is facing extra charges for this. It shows once again how fragile the cops are and how fragile their existence is. The only power they have is the one from an oppressive patriarchal background that is there to shut down the voices of people working towards a liberated and equal society. By simply telling them to fuck off, they get so scared because they know it is true. We do not need them. The cops are only there to keep people oppressed in this capitalist system that invades all parts of our lives, even our schooling systems. So once again we say COPS AND CAMERAS OFF OUR CAMPUS and we will add, CORPORATIONS OFF OUR CAMPUS. Free the TU/Eindhoven protestors. We wont rest till all the prisoners are free and the cages are burned down.

FUCK THE POLICE, FUCK SHELL AND FUCK THE TU EINDHOVEN
