[Spero]

Raquel is very keen that you read her statement and share!

Thank you!

[HenGab4]

Thanks for sharing.

[Tiphaine]

Thanks Spero. I will read and share it.

[Spero]

Had to delete statement for some redaction - will post again when it's back up.

[Spero]

Statement back up - RRS's address had to be redacted. It's a grim read.

[Shortpoet]

It’s taken me nearly two hours to read, but I read every word.

I feel like I’ve been punched in the guts just reading it, I’m shocked at how poorly Bristol has behaved towards you. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to live it.

I wish you every success with the court case.

[Shortpoet]

I can’t tell the time. An hour and a half!

[Redshoeblueshoe]

I'm half way through. I have been following this on here for a while, but reading it all like this is incredible.
And not in a good way.

Spero you also put the statement on the other thread, can you get her address deleted from that one ?

[exwhyzed]

@Spero I haven't read it yet (I intend to and I'm glad the case has had coverage in the national media)

BUT the redaction hasn't actually worked I'm afraid. Its still possible to 'see' her address in a couple of seconds if you know how to do it.

My advice would me to redact, screenshot as a picture rather than a word doc and then re-save again as a PDF

[ArabellaStrange]

Thank you for posting this does sound like an important read but I do not have the energy to read 74 pages of legalese speech right now.
Would someone please do a summary and point me in the direction of helping?

Thanks in advance

Raquel - I am standing with you. I work in the educational sector and will do everything in my power to protect and promote gender critical feminists like you.

[RaquelRosarioSanchez]

Thank you.

[princessleah1]

Best wishes to you Raquel.

[Spero]

The statement was shared via a link to a website so the other thread doesn't need to be deleted. The link should access the redacted statement. I am concerned however to read that its 'easy' to read the address even though redacted. It looks pretty redacted to me!

[Monitaurus]

What a nightmare for Raquel. I really hope the case goes well for her.

Why is AA's identity protected in a way that other students are not?

@RhymesWithOrange

Why is AA's identity protected in a way that other students are not?

Because bullies with pretentious identities are special.

[Huckleberries73]

My god
Harrowing reading
Raquel - you have my full support, and I shall drop some more money into your crowd fund.
Solidarity ✊🏻✊🏻

[Redshoeblueshoe]

I have just finished reading Raquel's statement.
I am absolutely furious.
As for BU now employing AA - shows their contempt for women.

[BigGreen]

This is pretty shocking reading tbh.

[RhymesWithOrange]

AA works for Bristol University now?????

[Redshoeblueshoe]

Yes Rhymes it's shocking

[NutsOhHazelnuts]

So many failures on BU's part. Truly shocking.

For Raquel

[Menstrualcycledisplayteam]

Well, that made harrowing reading. How could they have thought that employing AA was a good idea? And then to invite him to a case management conference? Gaslighting, pure and simple.

Sending strength, courage and wine, Raquel. Oh and I'll go digging in the garden again later, if it is still needed. x

[NanooCov]

For the poster concerned about "legalese", it's a witness statement so very little legalese. Simply a harrowing account of a campaign of intimidation and a catalogue of neglect and atrocious behaviour by BU.

My kids are only 4 and 6 and I despair that by the time they are of the age to be considering university, they will have become horrible echo chambers where protection for vulnerable students will dished out to those that make the most noise and who can be most damaging to university's PR image.

I'm an Edinburgh alumni and despair at what has happened there too.
