Protest 10 June 2025 - Update 1
On Tuesday morning, 10 June, the University College Maastricht building on Zwingelput was occupied by protesters. Around 20 individuals are involved. They have blocked the entrances. No other staff or students are currently in the building.
UM is attempting to establish contact with the protesters. In an Instagram post, members of Maastricht4Palestine claimed responsibility for organising the occupation. They are calling on UM to cut all ties with Israel, to urge other universities to do the same, and to issue a condemnation of the genocide in Gaza.
Activities scheduled to take place at UCM today are being relocated to other buildings in the city centre of Maastricht. This is to ensure that teaching and research can continue as much as possible.
Further updates and current information will be published here.
