Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to
-Has been locked up for six weeks
Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:
“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”
Calling for justice, kindness, compassion , FREEDOM.
