Protest against Hillary Clinton’s inauguration as Chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast

A large crowd gathered to meet Hillary Clinton today at Queen’s University in Belfast, to protest her inauguration as Chancellor of the University. Lasair Dhearg’s Pól Torbóid, who helped organise and also spoke at the event, said, “Queen’s University’s complicity in the whitewashing of Hillary Clinton and her war crimes further epitomises the university’s role in an international framework of imperialism that sees it not only glorify warmongers like Clinton, but have immense financial investment in military contracts and companies guilty of immense environmental destruction.“ Full video will be posted soon with other speakers including Aidan Moran, a former ISM activist in Occupied Palestine, on behalf of Cairde Palestine. Conal MacMathúna on behalf of the Connolly Youth Movement, Local Councillor Michael Collins from People Before Profit and Comrade Dr. Azadeh Sobout. Scholar of Transitional Justice and Peace building and Member of Academics for Palestine.
