In Boston, 400 Jewish residents and others joined rabbis and community leaders to call for the release of abducted Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk. The Passover rally was organized by the progressive Jewish group IfNotNow.
On Wednesday, an immigration judge denied bond for Öztürk, declaring her to be a potential, so-called danger to the community. Öztürk, who is from Turkey, was arrested for co-authoring a student op-ed on Tufts’ response to Gaza solidarity protests on campus.
