UK diplomat flees Palestinian university

Students at Birzeit University said on Tuesday that they would never allow a representative of the British government, which supports Israel, deliver a lecture in their university.

According to Press TV’s correspondent in Ramallah, scores of Palestinian students and members of the Student Council staged a protest as Vincent Fean entered the university. He was forces to flee.

The students shouted slogans against the British government and in support of hunger striking Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

They also held pictures of Palestinian hunger striker prisoner Samer Issawi and compared Palestinian prisoners who are on hunger strike to Irish prisoners who died in British jails.

The students said Britain is the main reason behind the Palestinians’ crisis and their long conflict with the Israelis, referring to the Balfour Declaration by the British government in 1917 which paved the way for the creation of Israel in Palestine.
