Federal immigration agents detained a Georgetown University postdoctoral researcher in peace and conflict studies this week, told him his visa was revoked, and are trying to deport him. Badar Khan Suri is an Indian national on a student visa. Suri’s wife is Mapheze Saleh, a U.S. citizen from Palestine and a Georgetown student who in recent weeks came under online attacks by pro-Zionist websites. She is the daughter of a former political adviser to the Hamas government. Suri’s lawyer says the pair is being targeted because they have spoken out for Palestinian rights.
