Release Yousof Azizi from ICE detention


Release Yousof Azizi from ICE detention
The issue
Yousof Azizi, an Iranian researcher, journalist, commentator and PhD candidate at Virginia Tech, has been detained by ICE despite having valid legal status. He was taken in front of his home, denied access to a lawyer, and may be transferred to a detention center in Louisiana.
A devoted father of two young children and active member of his community, Yousof has spoken out against war and sanctions—voices like his should not be silenced. When no clear legal violation is presented, we must ask: on what basis is he being held?
This is not just one case—it raises serious concerns about due process, justice, and the line between law and politics.
Silence does not serve justice. Awareness matters.
**Demand a fair review and the immediate release of Yousof Azizi.**
