Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian doctoral student at Columbia University, recently had her U.S. student visa cancelled over allegations of promoting violence and terrorism.
The U.S. Department of State cited national security concerns as the reason for her visa cancellation, though specific details about her alleged actions have not been disclosed.
On March 11, she reportedly left the U.S. for Canada using the CBP Home App, which allows individuals to confirm their departure digitally.
Ranjani Srinivasan’s supporters argue that her activism was focused on advocating for Palestinian rights and not violence. Columbia University has not yet released a statement on the situation.
This case has sparked concerns in academic and South Asian communities, with some questioning the basis of her visa revocation.
This incident comes amid heightened scrutiny on U.S. campuses over Middle East conflicts.
Recently Palestinian student Leqaa Kordia was arrested for overstaying her visa, while Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and U.S. permanent resident, was detained for alleged links to pro-Hamas activities.
These developments reflect growing tensions and increased monitoring of international students involved in activism related to global political issues.
