The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) joins peace loving people across the nation expressing support for the right of the students to protest and assemble free from fear, intimidation, scare tactics and other efforts to suppress their ability to express themselves freely.<\/p>\n
Students around the country and at different prominent universities such as Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, NYU, and University of Michigan have gathered in \u201cEncampments for Gaza\u201d to take a stand against the ongoing Israeli genocide war against the occupied Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. These students are taking an honorable stand against the ongoing human rights violations and war crimes against the Palestinians.<\/p>\n
AHRC condemns the suppression of the constitutional rights of students. These students should be protected and not be subject to th<\/p>\n
e heavy hand of the law simply for exercising their constitutional rights. This suppression is immoral and unconstitutional and goes against the very idea of a university.<\/p>\n
These honorable students have been falsely accused of being “anti-Semitic” or anti-Jewish. This is a blatant lie. Many of these protesters are Jewish. They are taking a stand against an ongoing genocide in Gaza. The World Court said there is a genocide. President Biden himself admitted last December that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is \u201cindiscriminate.\u201d Israel is preventing Gazans from receiving the food they need to survive. The attacks on humanitarian aid workers have been systematic. There is ample reason for these students to be angry and to express their anger peacefully on their own campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
