“Released without charge”

Nazis do a lot of that?

Edit. Look at all you people downvoting me because you want to believe the Nazis weren’t that bad and would let people go without charge. Shame on you.

Arresting innocent people to intimidate them is a staple move.

Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and “terrorism”. People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They’ll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.

Should never have been arrested to begin with.

Literally a signature of the School of the Americas playbook.
