Columbia University PhD student Ranjani Srinivasan calls accusations that she’s a ‘terrorist sympathizer’ absurd, telling CBC’s David Common that she feared for her safety after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials showed up at her door.
That’s the entire text with a 7 minute video on the page.
Newsworthy and valuable info in this climate, but I can’t be the only one who gets frustrated when a news site posts basically just a video and no actual article. Maybe just a personal gripe
They had the interview on the radio the other day and I wondered when the article would come out but here we are…
I couldn’t find a complete transcript of the interview anywhere, but I did find a slightly longer CBC article discussing it with more quotes (archived).
I went to one of the conservative drone echo chambers and their big line on this is “What grounds does she have to claim asylum in Canada?! She should be sent to Gaza to die!”
No point trying to reply in those spaces, they’re all too far gone, but I want to reply “what grounds? The grounds that Canada hasn’t abandoned their basic humanity or decency in exchange for nothing, as we Americans have.”
What are the odds that the orders to target Palestine protesters as “terrorist sympathisers” comes directly from AIPAC and by extension Israeli intelligence?
Another brain drained. Thanks, fascists.
