UNITED KINGDOM (VosIzNeias) — Nottingham Trent University has been made aware of an apparent hate crime and have since suspended the student from it’s campus.
The university student, who has only been identified as Jonathan, 20, saw a sleeping Hasidic man and decided to poke fun. He took a Palestinian flag sticker and surreptitiously placed it on the mans mouth. To top the act off, he had an unidentified individual snap a picture of him smiling while making a hand gesture gleefully.
Jonathan, then went and posted the image on Tinder which was shared and eventually brought to the attention of the university he was attending.
Many users on Twitter expressed shock and concern and demanded the university expel the student for his actions.
The university quickly responded by tweeting: “We have been made aware of a post on social media, in which NTU is mentioned in an individual’s personal profile.
“This individual is suspended and a disciplinary panel will now decide on appropriate action”
We launched an investigation the moment we were made aware of this post. We are dealing with the matter urgently and have interviewed an individual who was about to begin his first year. This individual is suspended and a disciplinary panel will now decide on appropriate action
