Radhika Sainath in Al Jazeera Fault Lines Documentary
/A new, moving documentary by Fault Lines on “The Palestine Exception: The crackdown on Palestine advocacy on US campuses” premiered this week on Al Jazeera English featuring Palestine Legal.
The documentary features Palestine Legal’s senior staff attorney Radhika Sainath, our brave client Maryam Alwan who is a plaintiff in our lawsuit against Columbia University alongside the New York Civil Liberties Union, and our fierce colleagues Dr. Lara Sheehi and Lara Friedman.
Together, they chronicle the ongoing and severe wave of repression that students and faculty are facing on campus as they protest Israel’s genocidal attack on Palestinians.
“They think that if they attack us enough, then everyone else will be quiet. But they don’t realize that we can’t be silent and it’s just going to motivate people to rise up more,” said Maryam Alwan.
