Harsono said he protested because growing up, he had been inspired by the American ideal of #FreedomOfSpeech.
“I was scared to voice my opinion back in #Indonesia,” he said. “Now, you know, I’m in #America, I could do that now.”
…After his arrest at the 2021 #protest, which occurred shortly before his #student #visa expired, he went back to Indonesia. He said he was “surprised” when his application to return to study for a graduate degree was accepted.
The soft-spoken Harsono said in a phone call that he had not been told that his F-1 #student #visa had been revoked before his arrest.
A State Dept memo, dated March 23 & submitted in court, shows #DHS & #ICE requested Harsono’s visa revocation because of a 2022 property damage incident.…
Harsono was charged after spray-painting graffiti on a bridge support & Schwan’s food delivery trailers in Marshall, where the company was based.
According to court records, the official reason given for Aditya Wahyu Harsono’s detention was that he overstayed his #student #visa, which had been revoked 4 days before his arrest, but he wasn’t notified — a “silent revocation.”
#Immigration lawyers argue Harsono’s arrest exemplifies a concerning shift over the last three weeks.

#Drawing #Student #Cats #Gatos
An anecdote for #Caturday.
One day at the high school, we had a lockdown (not scary since we were told there was no intruder). Because their door could not be locked, the kids from the special needs classroom came over to join my Spanish students.
For an hour, we all had fun listening to music and drawing. One of the visiting students drew this cat, and he wanted to put the title in Spanish. We called it “The Fierce Cat,” and I put it on my bulletin board.

Yesterday marked my last day of undergrad at the Manchester Metropolitan University!
It felt like a long, stressing, overworked road up to here, but I feel so happy to have completed this journey. The countless assignments and moments of doubt were all worth it in the end. As I look back at these three years, I'm grateful for the knowledge gained, friendships formed, and the person I've become. Now onto the next adventure!

#RepublicOfGeorgia: New legislation directly threatens people's right to #protest and #FreeExpression
In a troubling shift toward #authoritarian governance, Georgia’s ruling party has enacted legislative reforms that drastically restrict freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and proposed changes to restrict #media, public participation.
February 10, 2025
"The key changes obstructing people’s right to protest include:
- Expanded organisers' liability;
- Restrictions on spontaneous protests;
- Limitations on protests in enclosed spaces: Protests in closed spaces or buildings now require written consent from the property owner, significantly restricting #student and #workplace #demonstrations. This provision appears to be a direct response to recent protests on #UniversityCampuses;
- Expanded penalties for protest-related offenses: Petty #hooliganism fines have risen from GEL 500-1,000 to GEL 500-2,000 (from maximum approximately 350-700 EUR) , with imprisonment now up to 20 days instead of 15. Verbal insults towards #PoliceOfficers now carry fines of GEL 2,000 5,000 (approx. 700-1750 EUR) or up to 60 days’ imprisonment. Repeat offenses can result in a GEL 3,500-6,000 ( 1200–2100 EUR) fine and extended jail terms. Additionally, individuals accused of "disrupting public order" face severe criminal penalties, including up to 3 years in prison;
- New restrictions on symbolic protest actions: Covering one's face, possessing a laser or light-emitting device, or wearing clothing resembling police or military uniforms during assemblies are now punishable by fines of GEL 2,000 ( 700 EUR) or imprisonment up to 7 days. Such measures are expected to disproportionately impact younger protesters and student-led movements;
- #Broadened law enforcement powers: The Ministry of Internal Affairs now holds increased authority over protest regulation, including the power to block protests that allegedly threaten public order or constitutional stability. Authorities can now use '#EmergencyMeasures' to disperse gatherings, including mass #arrests and prolonged #detentions;
- Increased state control over protest logistics: Protesters are now required to ensure that demonstrations do not obstruct transportation routes. Organisers must take action within 15 minutes of a warning to remove roadblocks or temporary structures, failing which they will face criminal liability;
- Participation in protests previously dispersed by law enforcement is now classified as an offense, subjecting #demonstrators to legal consequences.
"Given that the median salary in Georgia in 2023 was GEL 1,238 (approximately 400 EUR), these fines represent a disproportionate financial burden on protesters, effectively discouraging civic engagement and public demonstrations."

#German #ClimateActivist faces expulsion from #Austria after ban
AFP Apr 7, 2025, Updated Apr 8, 2025
"Austria has banned a German climate activist for two years, she said on Monday, adding she would fight the decision, which could see her expelled from the Alpine EU member.
"#AnjaWindl, who has been living in Austria for seven years, became known for her #protests against #ClimateChange, including glueing herself on streets to stop #traffic with the #LastGeneration group.
"In a decision Windl received last week, the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum issued the two-year ban, giving her one month to leave the country.
"The ban was issued after the German activist was found to pose a 'danger for the #PublicOrder and security', according to the decision seen by AFP.
" 'This is highly problematic from a democratic perspective,' Windl, a 28-year-old psychology #student, told AFP, adding she would appeal the ban.
" 'We are moving toward civilisational #collapse, and instead of holding those responsible accountable, it is those who have peacefully advocated for the preservation of our livelihoods" who are targeted, she said.
"Her lawyer, Ralf Niederhammer, said he did not know of any other political activist being banned from Austria. Windl faces no criminal charges, he added."

Border agents pressured Makled to hand over his cell phone. He refused. After more than 90 minutes of back-&-forth, he showed agents his contacts list. He was eventually released. Makled says he was never given a reason for his detainment.
However, one of his current clients is a #student who has been charged in connection to a pro-#Palestinian #protest at the University of Michigan.
#Attorney representing #student protester detained by #immigration
Earlier this week, atty Amir Makled was detained by federal immigration agents while returning home from a family vacation to the Dominican Republic.
On Sun at the Detroit Airport, Makled—who is a #UScitizen —attempted to pass through customs w/his wife & children. His family entered the country w/o issue. But when Makled's turn came, one of the agents called the "Tactical Terrorism Response Team."
