Hindu student arrest in the US for support for Palestine
US officials continue their reproach against Palestinian supporting academics; An Indian researcher arrested the University of George Town, who was in the United States with a student visa.
According to US media reports, the researcher at the University of George Town, Badr Khan Suri, was arrested by US Department of Homeland Security officials on charges of alleged contact with Hamas and told him his student visa had been canceled.
The arrest of Badr Khan Syria shortly after the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student at Colombia University and another figure in the Palestinian Student Movement, takes place at US universities, and US officials now call for the same laws that Mahmoud Khalil was expelled from the United States.
Badr Khan’s lawyer in his complaint, which he has arranged to prevent his client’s extradition, said that US officials have claimed the case by claiming to have a Badr Khan Syrian wife with Hamas and his past communications with Al Jazeera.
These events continue to take place during the repression of the US government, both during the presidency of Joe Biden, former President Donald Trump, against current Palestinian supporters.
Trichia McLeolin, an assistant to the US Homeland Security Minister, claimed: “Badr Khan Syria has close ties with a well -known terrorist or a terrorism suspect.”
The US official continued to claim “Judaism” and “Hamas” as a terrorist group against Badr Khan Syria, saying: “Syria was a student at the University of George Town, who has actively spread Hamas propaganda and support Judaism in social media. Syria has close connections with a well -known terrorist or suspected terrorism, a senior adviser to Hamas. “The Secretary of State announced on March 5 that Syria is required by law because of its activities and how to be in the United States.”
A spokesman for the University of George Town said Syria, an Indian national and a post -doctoral student, was studying, teaching and pursuing a doctoral research on peace in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“We have no knowledge of his involvement in illegal activities and we have given us no reason to arrest him,” the university’s statement said.
Badr Khan Syria is married to a US citizen and is waiting for his immigration court to announce the date of his immigration court. The lawyer said he had no criminal record and was targeted only for the sake of Palestinian authenticity and his support for Palestine.
