U.S. Visa Revocations Target University Protesters

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the revocation of visas for individuals tied to university protests, without providing specific evidence. He mentioned over 300 visas may be affected.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Thursday that the visa of a detained Turkish student in Boston was revoked due to U.S. policies against issuing visas to individuals linked with activities like vandalizing universities and harassing students.

Speaking at a press conference in Guyana, Rubio did not present specific evidence that the student, Rumeysa Ozturk, had participated in such activities.

He indicated that the State Department might have revoked more than 300 visas in similar contexts.
