She was surrounded by armed officers who confiscated her phone and transported her through multiple states before she was granted in Basili, Louisiana. One of the neighbors scored the scene, with a passer -by, I heard, “Is this kidnapping?”According to the New York Times, Ozturk detention followed the cancellation of the student’s visa, which claimed and claimed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its joint composition to see the opening that it had created a “anti -Jewish students” environment and expressed its support for a later banned group on the campus. The Ministry of Internal Security also accused her of supporting Hamas, but it did not provide any evidence that exceeded the opening article, according to the American provincial judge, William Sessions.“There is no evidence here of the motivation, in the absence of the two articles,” said Sessions during a bail hearing on Friday, as quoted CBS News. He warned that her case could calm the speech between millions of non -citizens and stressed that Ozturk was not a risk of flying or a threat to public safety.In her first public appearance after being launched at Boston Logan International Airport, Ozturk expressed relief and gratitude. “America is the greatest democracy in the world,” she said. “I have faith in the American justice system.” She also thanked her supporters for their letters, reading books over the phone, and efforts to maintain her academic work alive. “A lot of love,” added, according to the New York Times.Ozturk, a researcher at Volibright and a doctoral student who focuses on the media for children, said that she had suffered 12 asthma attacks while imprisoning, as symptoms exacerbated due to overcrowding and lack of appropriate care.
