Stop Islamophobia in NUS

[Stop Islamophobia in NUS @NUSIslamophobia]

The removal of Shaima Dallali as the President of the NUS, is not only an attack on the democratic mandate of students but a move designed to undermine Palestinian activism.

Let’s be extremely clear, this investigation has been far from independent or credible🧵

[lucy 🇵🇸 @lumnic]

Crazy that during the referendum to disaffiliate UoM from the NUS, myself and another activist got 'leaked' information suggesting Shaima was sacked for making homophobic remarks....

[Stop Islamophobia in NUS @NUSIslamophobia]

The NUS is not fit for purpose, nor is it a space for Muslim or pro-Palestinian students.

[Stop Islamophobia in NUS @NUSIslamophobia]

This past year has seen a concentrated effort to attack Shaima in order weaken an overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian student movement.

[Shaima Dallali @ShaimaDallali]

Today, I can confirm that I have commenced Employment Tribunal proceedings against the NUS.

The NUS facilitated and enabled these attacks against her whilst allowing certain narratives to build up around her removal. These narratives will now be challenged

[Stop Islamophobia in NUS @NUSIslamophobia]

In this referendum the NUS again have shown a desire to undermine the effort of Muslims and shown why it is not a safe space for Muslim students

[Manchester Leftist Action @mcrleftaction]

... Their disdain for leftwing and Muslim activists is clear. We wholeheartedly condemn their attempts to tear down the activists trying make student spaces safer and more democratic for all

[Manchester Leftist Action @mcrleftaction]

This week a referendum on NUS affiliation took place at the University of Manchester. The NUS and the affiliation team showed a blatant disregard for the election rules... [Thread]

.@wesstreeting what is your problem with Black women in leadership?

[Stop Islamophobia in NUS @NUSIslamophobia]

Wes Streeting, finds it appropriate to tell a black woman whether or not she is a victim of racism.

How completely on brand.

In 2010, @OpBlackVote called for Streeting to stand down saying 'under his leadership Black students and the race equality agenda badly suffers. Black students and the student population, in general, deserve a better leadership’.

Believe us when we say that this will not go away and that students across the country will be responding.

We are supporting FOSIS in their call for disaffiliation campaigns.

Instead, NUS chose to leak the news of Shaima’s dismissal through *checks notes* the Jewish Chronicle.
