The US court has stayed the departure of Indian researcher Badar Khan Suri in the US (to be expelled from the country). Virginia Court Judge Petricia Toliver Gills ordered that Suri would not be expelled from the US until the court issues orders related to it.
US immigration officials arrested Indian student Badar Khan Suri from Virginia on Monday night. Suri is accused of spreading propaganda in support of Hamas in America and having a relationship with the organization.
Suri is a student of Georgetown University in America under the Student Exchange Program. He is studying as a post doctoral fellow at the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.
Assistant Secretary in the US Home Safety Department, Trissia McLaglin, alleged that Suri was promoting anti -Jewish spirit on social media.
Lawyer said- Suri’s wife Palestinian, hence targeted Badar Khan Suri’s lawyer has dismissed the allegations against him. The lawyer said in a petition filed in the court that Suri is being targeted because his wife is a Palestinian. The purpose of his arrest is to suppress the voice of people supporting Palestinian rights.
The lawyer said in the document filed in the court that neither External Affairs Minister Marco Rubio nor any other government official have alleged that Suri has committed a crime or in reality broke any law. He has given his views, which are completely constitutional.
Suri’s wife’s name is Muffj Saleh. Suri reached Gaza in 2011 to help people, during which both met. Muffaz has done post graduation from Jamia University in New Delhi. According to media reports, Muffj’s father Ahmed Yusuf is associated with Hamas, which the US has declared a terrorist organization.
Mafaj said, “My husband’s custody has completely changed our lives. Our three children need their father a lot. They remember him a lot. As a mother I need to support my children and myself in dire need to take care of them.”
Badar Suri and his wife Muffj Saleh met in 2011.
Suri is in the Immigration Camp in Louisiana The American Civil Liberty Union (ACLU) on Tuesday filed an emergency resolution to prevent Suri’s departure. Currently Suri is at an immigration camp in Louisiana.
Sophia Greg, a lawyer associated with ACLU, said that it is unconstitutional to separate the status of living in America only because of political ideology.
Georgetown University has issued a statement saying that they are not aware of Suri’s involvement in any illegal activity. He has not even known any concrete reason for his arrest.
