‘They made me a sub-standard’
Indian-origin scholar Badar Khan Suri, PostDoctoral scholar and professor at the University of Georgetown, who were released after more than a month from snow custody, said ‘Kafka-SKE’. After his release, he told NBC News that he was in chains everywhere – wrist, ankles, body.And for the first seven, eight days, he also missed his shadow. “There was no allegation, there was nothing. They made a sub -human outside me,” he said.
Why was Badar Khan Suri arrested?
Badar Khan Suri was arrested for his father -in -law Ahmed Yusaf, who served as an advisor to Hamas leader Ismail Honeyh. Suri’s wife Mafez Saleh is a Palestinian-American and although Suri’s family is located in India, she went to her marriage. Khan Suri was accused that “actively promotes the promotion of Hamas and promoting antismitism on social media”. Judge Petricia Giles, Judge of the eastern district of Virginia, said in his judgment that Khan Suri’s custody was the first amendment, the right to free speech, and the fifth amendment, the right to the fixed process. Gills said in its judgment that the government could not prove that Khan Suri was a flight risk or national security risk.
‘My eldest son is only nine’
Khan Suri told NBC News that he was only concerned about his children, including nine -year -old son and five -year -old twins. “My nine -year -old child knows where I am. He was going through a very thick time. My wife used to tell me that he is crying. She needs support from mental health.” Khan Suri said after his release, “There is madness everywhere, but it should not be in the United States. It is a stronghold of hope.”
‘Don’t regret support for Palestine’
Khan Suri’s wife said that she told her that she did not regret marrying a paletinian and supporting Palestine. “If I am suffering at the custody center, because I have married a Palestinian and because I spoke against the genocide in Gaza, I should wear it as a badge of respect,” his wife said what Khan Suri told him.
