Several students at Princeton University in New Jersey have initiated a hunger strike to show solidarity with Gaza, as reported by a student protest group. The group, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest, stated that participants in the hunger strike would only consume water until their demands are met.
The protesters are calling for transparency regarding the university's investments, urging divestment from companies that are involved in Israel's military actions, occupation, and apartheid policies. Additionally, they are pushing for a complete academic and cultural boycott of Israel.
Furthermore, the students are seeking guarantees of amnesty from any criminal or disciplinary charges for the protesters and the reversal of bans and evictions imposed on student activists.
According to reports from the student newspaper, at least 17 undergraduate students were actively participating in the hunger strike as of Sunday.
The source has reached out to Princeton University for comments on the ongoing situation.
