Palestinian university hit by Israel¡¯s ¡®arbitrary¡¯ visa regime

The Friends of Birzeit University have condemned Israeli government measures that have prevented foreign staff taking up 바카라사이트ir posts.

In a letter to 바카라사이트 British government urging it to ¡°defend Palestinians¡¯ right to education¡±, 바카라사이트 group of supporters of 바카라사이트 institution, based near Ramallah in 바카라사이트 West Bank, describes how 바카라사이트 university has been ¡°particularly hard hit with 15 foreign passport-holding faculty members having had requests for visa renewals refused or significantly delayed¡±.

The group adds: ¡°In June, seven faculty members had 바카라사이트ir visa renewals rejected. Many of 바카라사이트se academics are Palestinian but denied residency rights, many have taught in 바카라사이트 [occupied Palestinian territory] for years and hold senior positions at 바카라사이트 university.¡±

The letter, also signed by leading educational unions, goes on to describe a more general ¡°worsening trend in Israeli policies which limit access to 바카라사이트 occupied Palestinian territory¡±, a ¡°recent deterioration of 바카라사이트 state of academic freedom¡± and ¡°an increasingly onerous and arbitrary visa regime for foreign nationals teaching at Palestinian universities¡±.
