Police are currently investigating a series of posters that were put up in Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) toilets. The posters claim that the university is using school fees to fund Israel in the war in Gaza.
The posters also detail various ways NTU is allegedly funding Israel, such as its collaboration with French multinational company Thales, which has a joint research laboratory with the university and the French National Centre for Scientific Research.
According to a post on the online forum Reddit, the posters were found in the toilets of NTU during the university’s Open House on Sunday.
The top of the poster reads: “Applying to NTU? Your school fees is funding the genocide in Palestine.”
Thales designs, develops, and manufactures electrical systems as well as devices and equipment for the aerospace, defense, transportation, and security sectors. The poster alleges that Thales has a relationship with Israeli Aerospace Industries and Elbit, an Israel-based international military technology company and defense contractor. The poster also claims that the weapons from these two companies have been used during the Israel-Gaza war.
NTU stated that the posters were not authorized and were removed by campus security.
They have also made a police report regarding the incident.
“The posters were not authorised, and were removed by campus security,” said NTU in a press statement according to TODAY on Tuesday (March 5).
The police have confirmed that a report was lodged and investigations are currently ongoing.
