If you are interested in or would like to understand the whole situation from the beginning, please read our original statements below:. Our original petition started on September 22nd, Our response to the threats made against Emily by President of the University of Amsterdam posted on March 3rd, We have had new discoveries since we posted our recent update on December 24th, and have edited it a little. Thanks to all of you who gave in tips from different parts of the world; it is now quite evident that this is not only happening to our devices in our countries and that search results are indeed deliberately being manipulated.
We would really appreciate it if more people could try doing this and share the results with us. Thank you, and Happy Belated New Year! Our apologies for not being able to update you for a long time. We are still working on drafting an update, but in the mean time, we are posting Emily's friend's statement both in Dutch and English.
Emily had a hearing at the University of Amsterdam on June 2nd, It was regarding the decision to exclude Emily from fieldwork http: Just a recap to help understand the super complicated situation, and yes, during the whole ordeal Emily has had no choice but to continue paying tuition fees to the university, euros per year. The university never explained why they did not resolve the case as they were obligated to by February 20th. At this point, we are afraid that Emily respectfully following the university procedure will result in Emily running out of time in the Netherlands without reaching any resolution.

We have been reached out to by so many people willing to support Emily, and are currently considering and discussing further collective action. We would like to ask all of you to join us and help us find a way save Emily. Here's Emily's response to an article http: Henk Strikkers at Folia , the University of Amsterdam's school magazine.

Sorry it's very long but that is how long she has been sufferin We are almost done studying the parts the University of Amsterdam has altered, and are planning to issue a statement in the near future. We hope to be able to resume our petitioning soon. This page is dedicated to supporting rape survivor Emily who has been repeatedly abused and discriminated against by the Univer Therefore, we are currently working to reorganize and recover our original statements that have been manipulated. We have been informed that the University of Amsterdam has made even more demands to Change. It seems that, after successfully making Change.
We are sickened and disgusted that the university shows no interest in actually resolving the issues that have been tarnishing the life of Emily, and seems to find no problem in spending tax and tuition money on a private law firm to silence the voice of the general public. We would like to, once again, sincerely apologize to our supporters for letting the university squash your kind support.

This was a difficult book, not because of big words or twisted plots, but because it was wholly unlike other children's books I've read or reviewed.
There is no fantastical element to make the danger easier to bear. There is no guarantee in the summary that there will be a happy ending. As a matter of fact, for a large chunk of the book I was pretty sure there wouldn't be--at least, not a conventionally happy ending. Children are cruel, as we all know and if you don't know then you might be the This was a difficult book, not because of big words or twisted plots, but because it was wholly unlike other children's books I've read or reviewed.
Children are cruel, as we all know and if you don't know then you might be the reason the rest of us know , and life is unfair. Sometimes adults are cruel, too. And in this story, nobody knows all of those facts quite as sharply as poor Emily Hasbrouck. She is treated unfairly because she is an orphan. She is slandered by those that think they're better than her. Her best friend is murdered before her eyes even if it was accidentally simply because she refused to be "put in her place" by the rich girls. Then, because she witnessed the murder, the whole town turns against her.
The girls spread lies that she and the dead girl were to blame for what happened and were the real villains in the tableaux. All put a handful of people in the entire town turn against her. She is beaten, she is stripped of good access to an education, she is verbally abused, cruel pranks are pulled on her. Even the police turn against her because one of the girls involved is the mayor's daughter.
It's heartbreaking all the way up until the very last chapter. It's a book that should have taken me two hours to read, but it took me two days.

Still, I feel it's an important book. It shows kids that they must stand up for what's right, even if it makes life harder. Popularity and money aren't everything, but how you live your principles is. Jan 10, Shoshana rated it really liked it Shelves: I like that Pfeffer stays very true to Emily's character through this book.

I like that I read Justice for Emily over a decade ago without knowing there was a prequel and liked it then, and that I read it over a decade later having just read the prequel and liked it now. It's old fashioned, but it stands up.
Dec 21, Kirsten rated it liked it. This is okay, though a trifle heavy-handed. I like the way it ties up so many loose ends from the first book, without feeling rushed.
