A US judge has blocked the deportation of Badar Khan Suri, an Indian researcher at Georgetown University, following his arrest for alleged ties to Hamas. The US government had accused Suri of promoting anti-Semitic views and spreading Hamas propaganda. His lawyer denounced the detention as politically motivated, aiming to suppress free speech. Georgetown University, where Suri conducts research on peacebuilding, expressed support for his rights. The case has raised concerns over academic freedom and the targeting of individuals based on political beliefs, particularly regarding US policy on Israel.
