Detained Columbia student protester must be allowed to meet with wife, judge rules – Middle East Monitor

Detained Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil must be allowed to meet with his wife, a federal judge ruled yesterday according to Reuters.

The order by US District Judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, New Jersey, comes after Khalil’s wife, Noor Abdalla, said US Immigration and Customs Enforcement denied her request to meet with Khalil at the detention facility in Jena, Louisiana, where he has been held for more than two months.
