Adelaide University cancels literary festival event with UN Gaza investigator Francesca Albanese
"Another free speech row at a literary festival has erupted, with Adelaide University abruptly cancelling a high-profile event featuring UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese.
The move has prompted the festival’s organisers and speakers to accuse the 152 year-old institution of “crumbling in fear”."
"Louise Adler, the former director of Adelaide Writers’ Week who headlined another of the festival’s events on Sunday, lashed out at the decision.
“Welcome once again to Moscow on the Torrens,” she said in a statement."
