Al-Shami: US suppression of student protests exposes hypocrisy on freedom of expression

SANAA, April 27 (YPA) – Spokesman for Sanaa Government, Dhaifallah Al-Shami, criticized the American authorities’ crackdown on students opposing the Gaza genocide, highlighting it as evidence of America’s false claims of upholding human rights and freedom of expression.

In a statement on Friday, Al-Shami commended the growing protests in US universities against Zionist aggression on Gaza, despite the American authorities’ campaign of arrests against students. This, he emphasized, reveals the US administration’s dismal human rights record and its unwavering support for Zionist aggression against Palestinians.

Minister Al-Shami condemned the US administration’s repression of peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstrators on American campuses, viewing it as a setback for the White House.

Pro-Palestinian academic activism has grown significantly across the US since the onset of the Israeli regime’s US-backed war of genocide against the Gaza Strip.
