Mahmoud Khalil’s Letter From an ICE Detention CenterI was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family that has been displaced from their land since the 1948 Nakba. I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel’s use of administrative detention — imprisonment without trial or charge — to strip Palestinians of their rights. I think of our friend Omar Khatib, who was incarcerated without charge or trial by Israel as he returned home from travel. I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.

After big gatherings in February at Autokomanda, a key traffic interchange in Belgrade, and on the Freedom Bridge in Novi Sad, students continued with new gatherings in Kragujevac and Niš, in preparation for Saturday's protest. Although the students announced that Saturday’s rally would not be the last, many imagined that it would be the day when the regime of Aleksandar Vučić fell. Even the day before the big protest, pictures and videos circulated on social media of huge columns of cars waiting at highway toll booths on the road to Belgrade. Because a large gathering was anticipated, many decided to come to Belgrade a day earlier so as not to have trouble with traffic on the day of the protest. From all over Serbia, students and activists organised marches to the capital. From village to village, city to city, they were welcomed as heroes and supported by local residents. There was a special welcome when they arrived in Belgrade, where the students had prepared thousands of mattresses to accommodate their comrades from all over Serbia.
