A Palestinian student who said she was “full of pride” after Hamas launched its attack on Israel has declared “I don’t regret it” after the Home Office revoked her visa. The Mail has the story.
Dana Abuqamar, 19, a law student at the University of Manchester, attended a pro-Palestine protest just one day after Hamas carried out its horrific October 7th attack.
During the demonstration, Ms. Abuqamar, President of Manchester Friends of Palestine, was filmed saying she was “really full of joy” and “proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point”.
She has now claimed that the U.K. Government has “violated her human rights” by rescinding her student visa on the “baseless” accusation that she is a “risk to public safety”.
However despite complaining about her visa being revoked, Ms. Abuqamar appears to have doubled down on her inflammatory activism in a post on social media, declaring: “I do not regret standing up for my people.”
In a post on Instagram on May 8th – in which Ms. Abuqamar shared a video of her revealing to a crowd of protestors that her visa has been revoked – she said: “I do not regret standing up for my people and advocating for their right to resist oppression, as prescribed by international law, and I will continue to do so regardless of the repercussions.”
She added: “If anything, the backlash I received from complicit media, institutions and governmental authorities should encourage you to stay steadfast in your activism, or at least I would so hope.”
