Mótmæli gegn tanngreiningum í Háskóla Íslands! @ Háskólatorg - Háskóli Íslands
Feb 3 @ 12:00 – 13:00

SHÍ og Stúdentahreyfing No Borders Iceland kalla til mótmæla gegn tanngreiningum mánudaginn 3. febrúar á Háskólatorgi!

Í rúmlega eitt og hálft ár hefur Stúdentaráð og No Borders Icelans andmælt aðkomu Háskóla Íslands að líkamsrannsóknum á fylgdarlausum hælisleitendum og börnum sem hingað koma í leit að betra lífi.

Afstaða SHÍ hefur hlotið stuðnings starfsfólks og doktorsnema við skólann samkvæmt undirskriftarlistum sem voru opinberir veturinn 2018. Þrátt fyrir háværar gagnrýnisraddir samdi Háskóli Íslands við Útlendingastofnun, í mars 2019, um framkvæmd aldursgreininga með tanngreiningum sem eru siðferðislega umdeildar og vísindalega ónákvæmar rannsóknir:

Samningurinn var til eins árs og fer því að líða að endurskoðun á stöðu HÍ í þessu máli. Háskólaráð mun fjalla um málið á fundi sínum í febrúar og efna SHÍ og No Borders til mótmæla gegn því að Háskóli Íslands framkvæmi þessar rannsóknir.

Stúdentaráð skoraði síðast á háskólaráð til að hætta aldursgreiningum á fylgdarlausum börnum þann 30. nóvember 2019.
Áskorunina má finna hér:

Landssamtök íslenskra stúdenta og European Student’s Union hafa tekið undir með afstöðu Stúdentaráðs í málinu og getur þú nú sýnt þinn stuðning í hádeginu þann 3. febrúar

–English–
For over a year and a half, the Student Council and No Borders Iceland have opposed tthe University of Iceland’s involvement in dental analysis on unaccompanied asylum seekers and children who come here in search for a better life.

The Student Council’s position has been supported by staff and doctoral students of UI as portrayed by signature lists that were made public during the winter of 2018. Despite heavy criticism, the University of Iceland made a deal with the Directorate of Immigration to perform analyzis with dental examination and x-rays that are morally controversial and scientifically inaccurate.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EPCykFUWoAEB6K1?format=png&name=medium
The agreement between UI and DI was for a period of one year. Therefore a review of the UI’s position in this matter is now in process. The University Council will discuss the matter at its February meeting. For that occasion SC and No Borders call for a joint meeting to protest the University of Iceland’s conduct of these studies.

The Student Council last challenged the University Council to end age diagnoses for unaccompanied children on November 30, 2019.
The challenge can be found here:

The Icelandic Student Union and the European Student’s Union have agreed with the Student Council’s position on the matter and YOU can now show your support at noon on February 3rd.
