At least we know the campus censorship issue isn’t limited to the United States.

Anti-ISIS fighter prevented from speaking at University College London

The head of the University College London’s Kurdish Society is livid after his invited speaker was prevented from discussing experiences fighting against ISIS.

Kavar Kurda had asked the pseudonymously named Macer Gifford, a former UCL student “who reportedly gave up a top City job” to go join the effort against the terror group in Syria, to give a presentation.

But the University College London Union’s activities and events officer, Asad Khan, gave a thumbs down to the invite, allegedly defending his decision (in part) by noting the guest’s talk “could lead to others going and fighting in the conflict.”

The Independent reports on Kurda’s response:

UCL recently banned Macer Gifford from talking at a Kurdish Society event. The [Tab] article shows a great balanced understanding of the altercation which occurred between I and the activities officer, Asad Khan.

However unfortunately, in this incident UCLU proved their unwillingness to take a stance against ISIS and to support the Kurdish cause.

Macer Gifford is an excellent example of someone laying his life on the line in order to champion human rights, and to deny a man who has spoken at the BBC, Portcullis House and an ex-UCL student is absolutely outrageous.

They first claimed he would encourage individuals to go fight in Syria which was nonsense. Having told them I would set provisions for his speech, they still continued to deny him.
