VIDEO: At the commencement ceremony for Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) where Mahmoud Khalil was supposed to graduate today, student speaker Felix Wang notes Khalil’s absence, “A classmate who should be graduating with us today…I cannot stand up here without acknowledging the absence of Mahmoud Khalil, whose unlawful detainment prevents him from walking across the stage today.” Many in the gathering, including several of Khalil’s friends and classmates, cheer loudly for the detained Palestinian student.

VIDEO: "This won’t be a normal graduation speech, but it would be a disservice to all of you if I pretended that these were normal times." Maryam Alwan (maryam alwan🇵🇸🇸🇾), a Palestinian-American graduating student of Columbia University's Class of 2025, delivers a poignant speech at a ceremony to celebrate Arab students graduating from Columbia this year. Watch, and read, excerpts from Alwan's graduation speech here: "I can't help but think about our fellow graduate Mahmoud Khalil who should be holding this microphone instead of undergoing two months of political imprisonment in Louisiana." "I can't help but think about every Palestinian senior in Gaza whose universities were all destroyed over one year ago." "In witnessing a genocide unfold on our screens for over 500 days, we were forced to reckon with humanity’s capacity for cruelty. And we stood against it." "We are not just graduates. We are living proof that even in a system designed to suppress us, we built something unbreakable."

Mahmoud Khalil upon his return: “The genocide is still happening in Gaza…the US government is funding this genocide and Columbia University is investing in this genocide. This is why I was protesting, and why I will continue to protest with every one of you…not only if they threaten me with detention, even if they would kill me, I will still speak up for Palestine.” Watch the full video here.
