Dans le cadre de la Semaine contre l’Apartheid Israélien (IAW), la campagne BDS France accueille le militant anti-apartheid sud-africain Professeur Farid Esack dans plusieurs villes de France. Farid Esack, une figure majeure de la lutte sud-africaine pour la libération, ancien commissaire pour l’égalité des genres nommé par Nelson Mandela et éminent universitaire international, a été censuré par plusieurs universités françaises. Des centaines de personnalités notables, dont d’éminents universitaires et trois Ministres sud-africains ( gouvernement ) ont appelé les Universités françaises à permettre à Farid Esack de s’exprimer librement . Ci-dessous la pétition et le communiqué de la campagne BDS France.
PETITION
Nous appelons les universités françaises à ne pas succomber à la pression d’interdire le militant anti-apartheid et universitaire Farid Esack de s’exprimer sur la Palestine.
Nous venons d’apprendre que diverses universités françaises sont soumises à une pression pour refuser au professeur Farid Esack, une figure majeure de la lutte sud africaine pour la libération, chef de file pour l’égalité des genres et l’un des plus éminents universitaires internationaux sur le pluralisme religieux, de prendre la parole sur leur campus sur la question de la Palestine. Nous prenons acte que les objections soulevées contre sa présence sur le terrain portent sur son présumé anti-sémitisme et son goût pour la violence.
Le professeur Esack, dans toutes ses publications et discours, a montré un engagement remarquable pour les principes de justice et de lutte contre toutes formes de racisme -y compris l’anti-sémitisme, le sexisme, l’exploitation économique et l’homophobie. Son engagement dans la lutte pour la justice en faveur du peuple Palestinien n’est que la suite logique d’une vie d’engagement pour la justice. Il s’est systématiquement opposé à l’anti-sémitisme dans toutes ses manifestations et a été un point d’ancrage pour le pluralisme et la non-violence.
En tant qu’universitaires, militants sociaux, politiciens et autres membres de la société civile, nous pouvons partager on non toutes les positions du professeur Esack sur tout. C’est la nature de notre travail. Cependant, nous protestons contre toutes tentatives qui visent à faire taire cette voix en faveur de la Justice.
Nous demandons immédiatement que le Professeur Esack soit autorisé à s’exprimer lors des évènements qui ont lieu en France.
