Palestinian-American lawyer offers free help to campus protesters

Palestinian-American lawyer Alice Sakakini-Ashkar said she will represent free-of-charge any US campus protesters that are having legal or visa problems as a result of being arrested for protesting 'in support of Palestine, in support of ceasefire and to end the genocide'. Sakakini-Ashkar is urging any protester who finds themselves facing such immigration status issues to contact her office and says it's the least she can do 'to say thank you for supporting my people'. Some 300 students have already been arrested so far at universities in New York alone, where Sakakini-Ashkar is based, for taking part in pro-Palestine campus protests.
