UK revokes visa of law student who addressed pro-Palestine protest

Erm UK is taking part, maybe get your facts right. What is Royal Navy doing in Mediterranean sea? and UK is shipping arms to Israel as I write tbis - this is as bad as it gets.

And to educate you further- the history didn't start on 07/10 so you can't say it was unprovoked - Israel has been subjugating Palestinians since around 1948...and guess who helped create that state back in the 40s?

And one can reasonably argue that the President of Ukraine provoked Russia by threatening to join Nato :)

I don’t agree with what she said , it’s stupid and insensitive , it’s one thing to object to the killings of tens of thousands , but celebrating the killings of So many innocent lives is cruel and inhumane , seeing she’s not British it’s probably up to the Foreign office. I’ve seen many foreign students visas revoked for far less.

Thank you. Every article has a derogation in it afaik.

She very publicly supported and celebrated an atrocity, she is not the only one. Many of them were UK citizens. The problem is a little bigger than her.

But yes, her hatred is not welcome in the UK.

“Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right..."

It's not an absolute right. Like all rights, it comes with responsibilities. You can't advocate or incite unlawful acts.

This. Absolutely this.

Totally the right call.

Finally, something this government has got right. She can have all the freedom of speech she wants in her own country. Britain also has freedom of speech and is saying "Fuck off you terrorist sympathiser, we don't want you here."

Quite a few countries apparently

Absolutely. Although of course, the British taxpayer will be funding her ‘legal team’ and our supine courts will no doubt back down. She’ll inevitably be applying for residency here in due course, despite finding our values and freedoms so abhorrent.

She was very stupid to say on national TV that she was ' full of joy' as a result of what Hamas were doing. She can't say she was ' taken out of context' when her words were broadcast for everyone to hear. She said that what she said was misinterpreted to imply she approved of the killing of civilians. But unless her interpretation of ' civilians' is the same as Hamas- anyone under 18 or over 65- she is talking ribbish. If that is her interpretation of civilians- despite her being Australian- then she doesn't have a leg to stand on. She has breached the terms of her visa. She's doing a Law degree, so that'll be one bit of law she's learnt for free- don't openly breach the conditions of your visa, or you'll get deported.

Thats because the case of Russia invading Ukraine unprovoked is completed different to Israel responding to an act of war from Hamas. It is in fact the opposite of a double standard. Putting aside the question of 'genocide' which has not been adjudicated on, UK is not taking part in Israeli action in Gaza.

Yes absolutely right. She is supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation - that is illegal in this country.

Again and again on the discussions about this conflict we have been told that Pro-Palestinian supporters are not supporters of Hamas, are not supporters of the rape, mutilation & murder of Israelis (& others) on 7 October but peaceful. How many examples do the contrary do we need? She is speaking clearly & calmly. She is not caught up in the passion of an argument when anyone can say something intemperate.

I think this is a good decision.

Maybe they won’t need to deport her. If she has no student visa she gets no finance. So if Australian she’ll probably just go home with no degree potentially. I won’t lose sleep over that.

Noone has the right to be here if they are not a citizen, it is a privilege. Can't see her being deported as we have a very weak govt.

I’m glad she’s had her visa revoked! Ta-ta 👋

I can’t get upset 😢 ver this. She is here on a visa so by permission of the U.K. government.

Wasn't she Australian anyway?

The Gaza Strip is unsafe. Nothing wrong with sending her to the West Bank to "celebrate" at home.

Pride and joy and what Hamas did, really?
Is she proud of all the raping?
Proud about all the children they killed?
Does it bring her joy to see young people at a music festival murdered?
I hope she loses her appeal and is deported. And she can fuck right off with her whinging about being picked on.

Though I guess she can still have her student visa be revoked and then just join all the other asylum seekers/refugees but won't be allowed to work or study?

She is here on a student visa. The day after Hamas massacred 1,200 people in Israel, raped Israeli women and took others hostage she said: she was “really full of joy” and “proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point.' As @Zimunya said, she had to declare on her visa application that she doesn't support terrorism yet clearly supports Hamas which is a proscribed terrorist organisation in the UK. I see no reason why she should be allowed to stay in the UK.

Is she Palestinian? Sorry, can't access twitter at work. I saw headlines this morning and can't remember - but if so surely she can claim asylum? She can't be deported to a war zone?
