Judge Frees Georgetown Scholar—and Sends Clear Message to Trump ...Middle East

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the release of Georgetown scholar Dr. Badar Khan Suri, who was illegally detained in March. U.S. District Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ordered Suri to be released immediately from a detention facility in Texas where he’d been held for two months, saying that it was in the public interest to end the chilling of free speech caused by his detainment.The Trump administration had alleged that Suri was “spreading Hamas propaganda and promoting antisemitism on social media,” and targeted him for having “close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas,” referring to his father-in-law Ahmed Yousef, who was previously an adviser to leader Ismail Haniyeh more than a decade ago.In a statement in April, Suri said he had “never even been to a protest.” The petition for release filed by his lawyers suggested that he was more likely targeted because of his marriage to Mapheze Saleh, a U.S. citizen.Giles said that the government had provided no additional evidence to refute Khan Suri’s claims that he was being unconstitutionally punished for his speech and his marriage. This is a developing story.
