Pro-Palestinian protesters chain themselves to Columbia main gates
A group of protesters chained themselves to the gates of Columbia University, demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil and Mohsen Mahdawi.
Mahmoud Khalil was arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on March 8 after his visa was revoked by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Mohsen Mahdawi was taken into custody during a citizenship interview at the US Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Vermont.
Protesters held signs stating 'Free Our Brothers, Free Mahmoud, Free Mohsen' and chanted for justice, emphasizing their demands for the release of political prisoners.
