According to the University of Chicago Student Union, four students were notified by email in recent days that their certificates will not be issued until a decision on the outcome of a disciplinary process related to complaints stemming from the installation of protest tents on campus is announced.

The protest of those students who support Palestine and condemn the crimes of the brutal Zionist regime that started at Columbia University in the United States despite facing the oppression and brutality of the American authorities spread for the first time in other universities in the country including Yale. Harvard, Texas, and Southern California. In addition, the wave of protests reached the universities of other western countries including France, Germany, Canada, England and Australia.

The Zionist regime with the support of the United States and in front of the eyes of international and human rights organizations has been committing genocide against the defenseless people of the region by attacking the Gaza Strip for about eight months now.

The Ministry of Health of Palestine announced in the Gaza Strip that since the beginning of the barbaric attacks of the brutal Zionist regime since October 7, 2023 last year more than 36,379 people have been martyred and 82,407 others have been injured.
