2. recent interventions of multiple government ministers exerting pressure on NUS to remove elected President Shaima Dallali from her position
3. UK government's decision to disengage with the NUS
4. targeting of activists in higher education occurs in a broader political context of attacks on academic freedoms at a national and institutional level.

a. demand UK government rescinds derecognition of NUS
b. express our solidarity with NUS and student campaigners.
