Students across the UK stage walkout in solidarity with international students and refugees<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Students'

Students in Cardiff joined the students’ walkout and nationwide students\u2019 walkout in support of the international students in the UK on November 17.<\/p>\n

The National Students\u2019 Union had called for a protest mainly against the government\u2019s decision to curb post-study work visas for international students and bringing their dependents while studying. But it turned out to be a demonstration against the government\u2019s \u2018wider anti-migrant sentiment\u2019.<\/p>\n

The refugee crisis gained more focus due to the recent debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the light of tragic events in Paris, Beirut and Baghdad last week, anti-migrant sentiment is at risk of becoming more prevalent,\u201d says Mustafa Rajaai, international students\u2019 officer of National Students\u2019 Union, which called for the walkout across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wholeheartedly oppose the attitude of the UK political establishment\u2019s policies regarding immigration, the failure to respond adequately to the refugee crisis and the mistreatment of international students,\u201d adds Rajaai.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister had declared that 20,000 refugees will be taken into the UK in next five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe taking 4,000 refugees per year is no solution to the huge humanitarian crisis. We need to do more about it using our resources,\u201d says Grace Piddington, international students\u2019 campaign officer, Cardiff University Students\u2019 Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
