HUNGER STRIKE: REASONS AND OBJECTIVES

In the name of security and counter-radicalisation Europe’s politicians have approved a covert program of surveillance and censorship (SAC) of universities that is unlawful, unethical and discriminatory. As a result, our sons and daughters are being subjected to thought control, ideological manipulation and indoctrination. Our children’s education and future now depend on the judgements of government censors and secret directives.

To keep it secret, Europe’s institutions at all levels of government, the media and civil society have been corrupted, co-opted and intimidated to remain not only silent but also blind and deaf to the cries of individuals whose fundamental rights, civil liberties and protection under the law have been violated.

Without the knowledge and consent of its citizens, the EU has adopted the methods and means of thought control and indoctrination formerly used by communist dictatorships. What our sons and daughters should believe and how they ought to express their views is the job of parents and one’s own conscience, not the State. SAC makes the right to education conditional on one’s willingness to think and say only what the State approves of.

The objectives of the hunger strike

1. To achieve the dissolution of the program of surveillance and censorship (SAC) of universities both at the UK and EU level.
2. To break the media’s cover-up and activate the institutions of civil society to fulfill their duties in respect to upholding the truth, protecting human rights and equality under the law.
3. To obtain justice for the mistreatment of any and all students who have suffered discrimination and the violation of their fundamental rights at the hands of British and European universities that collaborate with SAC.
