Open letter from UK university staff: Request for biometric deferral and safe evacuation of incoming Palestinian students and scholars from Gaza to UK Universities
More than 40 students currently trapped in Gaza with full scholarships to UK Universities are asking for a safe route to come and study.We, the academic community hoping to welcome these scholars, call on the UK government, Home Office and Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to facilitate a biometric visa deferral and open a route of safe passage for our incoming students so they can take up their places of study in September.
