British authorities have revoked the visa of Egyptian student Osama Ghanem, who studies at King’s College London, putting him at risk of deportation after participating in student protests supporting Palestinians on campus.
The university stated that the decision was due to administrative violations and breaches of campus policies, while Ghanem and his legal team insist that no criminal charges have been filed against him and that his actions were part of lawful political activity.
The UK Home Office has given Ghanem a deadline to leave the country, raising concerns about his deportation to Egypt, where he says he could face security risks. The case has sparked widespread debate over freedom of expression and the targeting of students involved in pro-Gaza protests.
