Georgetovna’s University researcher Badar Khan Suri was released from a Texas detention center after he was arrested as part of Trump’s administration repression on activists in urban towns.

The federal judge ordered the release of Mr. Suri, who was a doctoral student at a prestigious Washington, which is engaged in a student visa.

The Ministry of Justice claimed that the government had the right to detain it until the court case was over.

Ms Saleh said she had left the Gaza government in 2010 and set up an institute to stimulate peace and conflicts in Gaza in 2011.

“Hearing the judge’s words, they brought me tears in my eyes,” said Ms. Saleh to the press release of the US Union of Civil Liberties (ACLU), who is involved in the defense of Mr. Suri.

“I really want me to hug her from me and from my three children who will see my father again,” she said.

“Talking about what is happening in Palestine is not a crime.”
