Some 100 academics have signed a declaration in defense of students and their rights, following episodes of violence during protests in Tirana. The Political Dialogue Forum has called on educators across the country to join the initiative, turning solidarity with students into a public response from the university community against violence.
In a social media post, the Political Dialogue Forum invites teachers to sign the declaration and become part of the initiative in support of the students who have protested.
The initiative aims to unite the voices of the academic community in defense of students’ rights and against violence targeting them, calling for the response not to remain at the level of statements alone, but to be expressed through concrete support as well. “Solidarity is not enough to be expressed, it must also be demonstrated!” the Political Dialogue Forum stresses in its appeal to educators across the country.
