UK Home Office revokes visa of Palestinian student after protest speech

Dana Abuqamar, a Palestinian law student and leader of the Friends of Palestine Society at the University of Manchester, has had her student visa in the UK cancelled by the government. This action was taken after Abuqamar participated in a demonstration at the university and gave a speech. The authorities cited 'national security' concerns and deemed her a potential threat to public safety.

Abuqamar shared that she tragically lost a minimum of 15 family members in Gaza during an Israeli army airstrike on a three-story building in the blockaded area.
