Italy’s association of university deans CRUI has expressed concern over the alleged heavy-handed policing of student demonstrations in Florence and Pisa. The organization emphasized the importance of preserving the right to demonstrate, stating that it is a crucial aspect of western democracy. CRUI highlighted the commitment of universities to peaceful dialogue and the coexistence of differing opinions, which align with the academic mission of fostering scientific research. The deans emphasized that the right to demonstrate must be guaranteed and protected. The recent incidents in Tuscan cities involved police using force against pro-Palestinian protesters, including students, which has raised significant alarm among university officials. Video footage captured police officers repeatedly hitting demonstrators with truncheons, sparking further outrage. CRUI’s stance reflects a broader concern for upholding democratic principles and ensuring the safety and rights of individuals engaging in peaceful protests.
