Mahmoud Khalil, call himself a political prisoner

According to RCO News Agency, on Saturday evening, Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student at Colombia University and a leading leader of the Palestinian protesting movement at the university, who has a constant and permanent residence in the United States, and his wife, who had an American citizen, had an eight -month -old. As soon as the couple opened the building door, the Ministry of Homeland Security Officers entered civilian clothing such as mobs and asked Khalil to surrender themselves.

The Palestinian supporter, a graduate of the University of Kamalbia, protested that the Trump administration had arrested him solely for his political beliefs, in his first public remarks since his arrest.

“I am a political prisoner,” he wrote in a statement exclusively available to the Guardian newspaper. I write this statement from my detention site in Louisiana; “Where I wake up in the cold morning weather and have witnessed long days of silent injustices against many major people who have been deprived of legal support.”

According to Mahmoud Khalil, US President Donald Trump’s administration “targeted me in line with his overall strategy to suppress the opposition. “I warn that visa owners, the US Residence Green Card and the citizens will all be targeted for their political beliefs.”

Khalil issued the statement by dictating to his friends and family by telephone from the site of the Immigration and Customs Office (ICE) in the city of Louisiana. In the statement, he strongly criticized the US treatment of immigrants in the detention facilities of the department, the Zionist regime’s bombing of the Gaza Strip, US foreign policy, as well as surrendering the University of Colombia to the pressure of federal officials to punish students.

“My direct result is that I used my right to freedom of expression of Palestinian freedom and the end of the genocide in Gaza, which resumed Monday night,” he said. Now that the January ceasefire has been broken again, Gaza’s parents are once again putting their bodies in the cradle, and families are forced to endure hunger and displacement against the bombs. “We have a moral requirement to continue fighting for their complete freedom.”

“At that time, my only concern was my only concern about the security of Noor Abdullah,” he said, describing what happened to his university apartment in New York in New York. “I didn’t know if they were arrested at all because the agents threatened to arrest because they would not be left out of me.”

“Who has the right to use their rights? Certainly, humans affected by crowded cells here have no right. I met a Senegalese man who has been deprived of freedom for a year and his legal status has been suspended and his family is across the ocean and he has no right. I met a 4 -year arrest that was buried at the age of six and was returned without any process. “Justice escapes from the framework of immigrant installations in the country.”

Khalil described the behavior with him now in the United States as comparable to that of the Zionist regime’s government against the Palestinians who imprisoned without trial.

“I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria in a family that was displaced in the Nakat incident,” he said. I spent my youth near my land that is far from me. But being a Palestinian experience is beyond the borders. “My current situation is similar to Israel’s use of administrative detention – imprisonment without trial and charges – to deprive the Palestinians of their rights.”

Khalil continued: “I think of Dr. Hussam Abbasfieh, a physician and hospital manager in the Gaza Strip, who was arrested by the Israeli army on December 5 and is today at the Israeli torture camp. For Palestinians, imprisonment without a judicial process is common. “

Khalil’s arrest has led to widespread protests and warnings of freedom of expression over the violation of the right to freedom of expression under the pretext of extradition of immigrants. Khalil has not yet been charged. His lawyer said the Trump administration is illegally seeking revenge on his client for its activities and use of his rights.

Mahmoud Khalil stated: “My unjust detention reflects the racism of the Palestinians This is what both the Biden administration and the Trump administration have shown in the past six months as the United States continued to provide weapons for Israel to kill Palestinians and prevent international interventions. For decades, anti -Palestinian racism has been driving efforts to expand laws and actions aimed at suppressing violent Palestinians, Arabs and other societies in the United States. “I was targeted exactly.”
