Description
From the organizers:
The US District Court in Burlington will be having a hearing on Rümeysa Öztürk’s case. Ozturk was abducted by immigration authorities for exercising her constitutionally first amendment right to speech. She co-authored an article in Tufts University’s campus newspaper protesting Israel’s genocidal war in Palestine and calling on her school to divest from the apartheid state of Israel.
In an example of the racist New McCarthyism, the Trump administration revoked her visa. She was then arrested, whisked to St Albans, and then jailed in a notorious detention facility in Louisiana, where she awaits deportation. She is a political prisoner. In her hearing in Burlington’s District Court, Judge Sessions will rule on whether her appeal for release will be heard here in Vermont or Louisiana.
We are calling on all supporters of free speech and all in solidarity with Palestine to join our emergency protest in solidarity with Rümeysa Öztürk on Monday at 8:30am. Bring signs, banners, and Palestinian flags. All out for Rümeysa Öztürk! End the genocide! Free Palestine!
