Begzat Mirayev
City, University of London, Class of 2023

In coordination with UK Lawyers for Israel and StandWithUs UK, Mirayev, successfully stopped a City University’s Student Union (CSU) motion to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign. Begzat proved that support for a political campaign, namely BDS, not advance CSU’s charitable objectives of “advancing the education of students at City University,” He also successfully argued to the Charity Commission that his complaint to CSU’s Trustees wasn’t considered objectively, noting that the current president of CSU at the time, Shaima Dallali, had publicly called for the destruction of Israel in several tweets. Mirayev, previously served as the president of City University Israel Society.
