And prominent Palestinian activist Rasmea Odeh has been deported from the United States, after living in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Odeh was convicted of immigration fraud in 2014 and sentenced to 18 months in prison and deportation for failing to disclose her conviction on bombing charges by an Israeli military court more than 40 years ago. Odeh says her conviction, more than 40 years ago, was obtained through weeks of torture and sexual assault in Israeli custody. Her supporters say she was targeted over her support for Palestinian liberation. On Tuesday, Rasmea Odeh addressed the crowd of friends and supporters who gathered at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport to say goodbye before she was deported to Jordan.

Rasmea Odeh: “I will continue in my struggle, and we will continue to contact each other, because our struggle is one struggle, wherever we are going. It’s difficult for me, not because they just want to take deportation, decision to deport me from the country, but to separate me from all of you and from all the people that I love, and they love me.”
