ترجمة باللغة العربية للبيان الصادر عن جامعة بولونيا
Following a proposal by the Rector Francesco Ubertini and by mutual agreement of the board of governors, the directors of Departments, the Campus Presidents, the Administrative and Technical Staff Council and the Student Council, the Academic Senate, at the special session of 12 February 2020, passed the following motion regarding the arrest of Patrick Zaky, a young student enrolled in the "GEMMA" Master at the University of Bologna.
"As members of the scientific and academic community of Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, we were and still are deeply upset by the recent news of Patrick Zaky's arrest, as he is a member of our community and a student of the Erasmus Mundus Master of Arts "GEMMA" in Women's and Gender Studies. We hereby urge representatives of our Government and of the European Union, who have already taken prompt action, to keep monitoring this matter with close attention so that Patrick Zaky's fundamental rights are safeguarded from any violation. With the high values characterizing our academic community at every level, such as freedom of thought, the centrality of critical thinking, and social responsibility and commitment, we adamantly reaffirm the importance of protecting human and political rights and, in particular, the right to individual freedom and to the freedom of speech, everywhere and in all cases.
We are deeply committed to Patrick Zaky's safe and quick return to Bologna, so that he can resume attending his classes. Until then, it is our duty to make sure that the Italian Government and the European Union continue to do their utmost for ensuring Patrick's return to our community."

نطالب بإلحاح من ممثلي حكومتنا ومن المفوضية الأوروبية ـ الذين كانوا قد سبق لهم أن تحركوا فورا لدى علمهم بذلك ـ لمتابعة هذا الأمر بعناية حتى لا تنتهك حقوق باتريك زكي الأساسية بأي شكل من الأشكال.
واستنادا للقيم التي تمييز المجتمع الأكاديمي على كافة المستويات، مثل حرية الفكر وأهمية التفكير النقدي والمسؤولية والالتزام الاجتماعي، نؤكد من جديد الحاجة للدفاع في كل مكان وبكل وسيلة عن حقوق الإنسان ولا سيما تلك المتعلقة بالحرية الفردية والحقوق السياسية وحماية حرية التعبير.
وكذلك لن نألو جهداً في متابعة هذه القضية حتى يتمكن باتريك زكي من العودة بأسرع وقت ممكن للإلتحاق بفصول دراسته الجامعية.
وحتى ذاك الحين، فإننا سوف نعتبر أنه من واجبنا القيام بكل شيء ممكن لكي لا تتوقف الحكومة الإيطالية ولا الاتحاد الأوروبي عن بذل قصارى جهدهما لكي يعود باتريك لجامعتنا.
