@MariamBarghouti @JihanAbbas That is exactly what is going to happen. Rearrested and beaten. Murdered down the line. It is going to happen to all those released. By the way, the USA knew fully this would be the routine. The USA has zero integrity.

@UCLA “The violence.” UCLA fits right in with other lying university administrations. “Due to Zionist criminal assaults on our students, we need to have a day of forgetting.” UCLA needs to be sued and pay heavy punitive damages for its security negligence and its transparent lying.
