Hundreds of students gathered again on the 14th of December in the Wijnhaven building of Leiden University in the Hague. Although the university has decided to turn off the cameras for the moment, the organizers explained to a numerous crowd why it was important to remain mobilized: the university can still decide to turn the cameras on. Several speakers called for a broader debate about surveillance technologies in the university, and called for a debate about what kind of community does the university want to be. The protest was again covered by a large number of local and national media organizations, including NOS and Mare.
