Occupation of the Student Union Building

Minister of education Olof Palme addressing students during the occupation

The occupation of the Student Union Building (Swedish: Kårhusockupationen) was an uprising by students at Stockholm University that took place at the building of the Stockholm University Student Union between 24 and 27 May 1968. While the uprising grew out of opposition to a proposed higher education reform, the uprising was also inspired by the May 1968 events in France, and part of a worldwide wave of protests that year.
