A Turkish doctoral student who was grabbed off the street by plain-clothes federal agents in apparent retaliation for her op-ed criticizing Israel says her arrest and ongoing detention won’t stop her from speaking out.
Tufts University’s PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk — among several international students targeted for removal from the country for their Palestinian advocacy — remains in detention in a Louisiana facility while her lawyers argue in court for her release. She has not been accused of a crime, and the government’s only apparent evidence against her is an op-ed in a student newspaper.
