Move back. Move back
Al Quds Open University - Ramallah
William Ayed student
I came to the university to register for the new semester
The taxi driver told me that the army had invaded the university
No one else can get in because they've completely surrounded the building
So I couldn't get in to register
And today's the last day of registration
We still don't know what they want. They locked us up on the last floor...
...they did a body search on each one of us
Did they beat anybody up?
They hit a couple of guys who weren't cooperative
But then they let them go
Are there a lot of soldiers?
Plenty! They searched the whole university
They squeezed us all into the top floor...
They even searched the professors and lecturers
-Are any students still inside? -Yeah, lots
...around 300
Are you going to Ain Arik? Is there a checkpoint at that village?
There are many cars? Oh. It'll take a long time
They'll have to prolong the semester...
...it will be hard for us to focus on our studies
The schedules will be all mixed up
There will be a lot of problems for the students
For my future, my country, my family; in order to become someone in this society...
... I have to study. Otherwise, I have no future; not here, nor anywhere else
