The pro-Palestinian student movement has gained momentum on campuses in Switzerland, with occupations of premises in Lausanne as well as Geneva and Zurich. In the Agora building in Geneva, several hundreds take part in a general assembly and have decided to set up a camp that does not disrupt the university life. The students are demanding, among other things, an end to partnerships with Israeli faculties and the welcoming of Palestinian students. In Lausanne, nearly a thousand students occupied one of the UNIL buildings on 6 May. A video by AFP.
