'Battle Goes On' Over Zionist Regime’s Anti-Boycott Law
AL-QUDS (Dispatches) – A U.S. student’s court victory against the Zionist regime’s attempt to bar her from the country may prove only a short reprieve in the "battle” over a law targeting some pro-Palestinian activists, one of her lawyers said on Friday.
Lara Alqasem, 22, was allowed out of Tel Aviv airport on Thursday after the Zionist regime’s supreme court overturned her Oct. 2 detention there on suspicion of being active in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
The case has touched off a debate in the occupied territories over the 2017 law that bars the entry of foreigners who publicly support boycotts of the regime over its policies toward the Palestinians. The Zionist regime’s cabinet slammed the court ruling as short-sighted.
But a lawyer for Alqasem, who is of Palestinian descent and a former president of a small local chapter of the Students for Justice in Palestine group at the University of Florida, hailed the ruling as "an incredible day for Israeli democracy”.
