💨 Abstract

A Tufts University student from Turkey, Rumeysa Ozturk, was detained for over six weeks in Louisiana after writing an opinion piece criticizing her school's response to Israel's Gaza war and advocating for divestment from companies tied to Israel. Ozturk, a PhD student, was released after a judge found substantial claims that her rights were violated. She had been arrested on her street in Somerville, Massachusetts, based solely on the opinion piece.
