BURLINGTON, VERMONT, US (APR. 7, 2025) (ANADOLU – ACCESS ALL) SHOTLIST: 1. VARIOUS OF US DISTRICT COURT OF VERMONT BUILDING BURLINGTON, VERMONT, US - APR. 7, 2025: Footage shows the U.S. District Court of Vermont building in Burlington on Monday, where the hearing for Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national and student at Tufts University, is taking place. Ozturk, 30, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University and Fulbright scholar, was arrested March 25 near her home in Somerville, Massachusetts while heading to an iftar dinner to break her fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. No charges have been filed against Ozturk, according to her lawyer. A viral video captured the moments of her detention, showing masked Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents handcuffing her and forcibly taking away her phone. US Secretary of State Rubio said her F-1 was revoked. Authorities claim she engaged in activities supporting the Palestinian group, Hamas -- an allegation her family and advocates strongly deny. Ozturk's lawyers and supporters argue that she was detained for co-writing an op-ed in The Tufts Daily in March 2024 that criticized the university's handling of the pro-Palestinian movement. Ozturk’s detention comes amid the Trump administration's broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian students and academics, including the detention of Palestinian activist and recent Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil, and Georgetown University researcher Badar Khan Suri.
