Turkish University student was released on bail

The Tafses University student Romisis Ozturk was released from the immigration detention facility in Louisiana, hours after he ordered the release of a federal judge.

“Thank you very much, so I will take some time to rest,” she told reporters and supporters who were crowded outside the facility.

William Sessions, the American boycott judge, said that the student fulfills all the conditions necessary to release the government’s issue against it.

Mrs. Otzor, a doctorate student from Türkiye, participated in a composition of an opinion article in the campus newspaper, which was criticizing the Israel war. Her arrest follows the White House campaign as classified as anti -Semitism in American universities.

The judge said on Friday, which is an order to release him: “Her continuous detention calms the speech of millions in this country who are not citizens.”

Mrs. Oztuk has been detained since March when American immigration officials arrested her in the streets of Massachusetts. Video clips of arrest showed masked masked officers surrounding them, hands were written, and then transferred to an unique car after Ramadan celebration, igniting protests at the country level.

The US Department of Internal Security accused Mrs. Ozturk of “Engag (ing) in activities to support Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that enjoys the killing of Americans.” The government did not call any witnesses during the session.

After the judge’s rule, a spokesman for the Ministry of Public Security replied: “Vision for foreign students to live and study in the United States is a privilege and not really. The Trump administration is committed to restoring the rule of law and the common sense of our immigration system, and it will continue to fight for arrest, detention and removal of the Hedin who have no right in this country.”

Earlier this week, the judge ordered the transfer of Mrs. Ozturk by May 14 to the immigration authorities in Vermont, where she was last detained before being transferred to Louisiana.

The judge said on Friday that she should be released immediately without restrictions to travel, so that she can go to Vermont or Massachusetts, where there are Tuffs, as needed.

He heard from a number of witnesses in the case, including Mrs. Oztuk, her doctor and a professor of Tafs University.

During her testimony, which she actually presented, Mrs. Ozturk told the court about her Volibright grant and doctoral work. She said that her asthma was worsened during the detention, and at some point, she had to take a short break after being attacked in asthma on the camera.

After I heard from the defense witnesses, the judge said sessions that Mrs. Ozturk had raised “very large” allegations that her first amendment and legal procedures have been violated. He said that the only evidence that the administration was against Mrs. Ozturk is the opening.

“This is literally the case,” said court journalists. “There is no evidence that she participated in violence or called on violence.”

In a statement, the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents Mrs. Ozturk, said they are “pleased” because of her release.

“Rümeysa can now return to the beloved Tuffs community, resume its studies, and begin teaching again,” said Nour Zafar, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. “Today’s ruling emphasizes the principle of vital first amendment: The government should not be imprisoned by the government to express their beliefs.”

The judge told court sessions that the government should notify him when Mrs. Ozturk is released and said he would deny any requests to prevent her release.

The Trump administration has detained many international students – some legal population – who organized to support Palestine.

Last week, the judge ordered the government to release the University of Colombia’s student Mohsen Mahdawi after his arrest of immigration officials during a naturalization interview.

The 34 -year -old permanent resident grew up in a refugee camp in the West Bank and was detained at a Fairmont facility.

One of the highest cases that appears so far includes a Colombian graduate, Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent supporter of the Palestinians, who is still in a Louisiana detention facility without charges.
