Georgetown scholar recalls terror and 'mockery of due process' in immigration jail
- Georgetown scholar Badar Khan Suri was arrested and held in immigration custody in late 2023 after the U.S. Government revoked his visa in the Washington area.
- The administration cited Suri's alleged spreading of Hamas propaganda before the October 7 Hamas attack, while his lawyers said these events preceded the attack.
- Suri, a postdoctoral fellow studying religion and peace, described harsh detention conditions including shackling, isolation, and limited lawyer access during his two months in federal custody.
- He stated, “I was crying from inside” and called his arrest a “kidnapping,” challenging treatment by U.S. Authorities who accused him of high-level crimes without due process.
- He was released on bond while his deportation lawsuit continues, highlighting broader concerns over immigration detentions of international students linked to protests over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
