Support our court battle by helping to pay our legal fees

Students of the encampment of Shaimaa college (De Valk 3) are being dragged to court by the KU Leuven. When the KUL lost the previous lawsuit and their appeal against it, they are trying a third time. The KUL would rather sue their own students than break the academic ties they have with Israeli universities that are complicit in genocide. Please support us in paying the legal fees

KU Leuven is suing its students for a third time!  Help Shaimaa College, the last standing encampment in Belgium, to win the case.

Please help us win this legal battle. A battle for the right to protest, a battle against the KU Leuven, an institution complicit in genocide.

The KU Leuven lost their previous lawsuit against Shaimaa College, with a clear ruling in our favour: you cannot evict students that are rightfully protesting for a legitimate cause, a genocide. KU Leuven appealed. And lost again. Again, KU Leuven is dragging three of her students to court, showing for a third time, that it prefers to attack her students legally, instead of engaging with them in a respectful dialogue.

KU LEUVEN, YOU ARE FIGHTING THE WRONG OCCUPATION. Instead of cutting ties with Israeli universities complicit in genocide, you have chosen to blatantly attack the right to protest and sue your own students.

We are a group of students who are protesting for what we believe is right, but we do not have the financial capacity like the institution that is suing us.
Legal costs are quickly running high. We need your help.

Without you, we would not have lasted until today. This battle too, we cannot win without you.

PLEASE DONATE TO OUR CROWDFUNDING. TO SUPPORT OUR COURT CASE BY HELPING TO PAY OUR LEGAL FEES. Please help us win this legal battle. A battle for the right to protest, a battle against the KU Leuven, an institution complicit in genocide.
