This abuse of power by the Home Office is disgusting and has ruined the lives of thousands of students. Thanks @ameliagentleman for your work theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…

We are concerned that Patrick George Zaki's trial has been postponed yet again. Egyptian authorities must drop all charges against Mr. Zaki and allow him to fly back to Italy so he may continue his Master's program at @Unibo. #freepatrickzaki

The @MSCActions guidelines focus on beneficiaries of MSCA, the EU’s flagship instrument to support the mobility, training, & career development of researchers. However, the recommendations provide useful guidance to the higher education community more generally. @Inspire_MSCA
@Inspire_MSCA welcomes new @MSCActions Guidelines for Inclusion of Researchers at Risk. The guidelines reaffirm importance of #academicfreedom as a core principle of the #EU, & encourage concrete measures to support researchers at risk: ec.europa.eu/research/mariec…
Thinking of Patrick Zaki on trial tomorrow. #Egypt drop this charge. #FreePatrick
Patrick George Zaki faces trial on Feb 1 and if convicted, faces up to 5 years in prison. #Egypt must drop this charge and let him fly back to Bologna so he can resume his postgraduate studies.

Today with students we will connect to watch SAR's #Free2Think2021 report, in particular on #Belarus with students and then have a live panel with students from Italy and Belarus. Thanks @ScholarsAtRisk for your work!
#Free2Think2021 highlights attacks on #UniversityAutonomy in #Belarus following demonstrations over the disputed 2020 presidential election results, including replacing and expelling #HigherEd students and staff based on political considerations.
A great article on a community I have learnt and continue to learn so much from and how also in education “the only way to make borders meaningless is to keep insisting on crossing them” (Mounzer, 2016). Thanks @UnboundEq @Bali_Maha @catherinecronin and Parisa Mehran!

Small consolation after Brazilian president Bolsonaro was given honorary citizenship by a small Italian town - he gave up on his trip to the Basilica del Santo in Padova thanks to the demonstration this afternoon.
