Berlanty Azzam And Bethlehem University (EDM312)

Berlanty Azzam And Bethlehem University

EDM number 312 in 2009-10, proposed by Martin Caton on 01/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Higher education, Middle East and Students.

That this House congratulates Bethlehem University on its scheme to bring students from Gaza to the university to study; is shocked, however, to learn that one student, Ms Berlanty Azzam, who is in her fourth year majoring in business administration, was arrested by the Israeli military, blindfolded, handcuffed and transferred from Bethlehem to Gaza in the middle of the night; recognises that whilst the Israeli-controlled population registry lists Ms Azzam as residing in the Gaza Strip, she has lived in Bethlehem since 2005; calls on the Israeli authorities to allow her to complete her degree; and urges the Government to protest against the unjust Israeli policy that bans Palestinian residents of Gaza from studying in the West Bank.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
