Around 100 students have set up around 30 tents at the Piazza Scaravilli, marking the first pro-Palestine encampment at the University of Bologna, as reported by Italian state police. The encampment, organized by the Giovani Palestinesi d’Italia (Palestinian Youth Italy group), aims to raise awareness and support for the Palestinian cause.
Protest organizers have planned various activities and events, including a speech scheduled for May 8 by Patrick Zaki, an Egyptian student and researcher associated with the university. Zaki gained international attention after being detained in Cairo for over a year due to his research work.
