Conor Gearty died a month ago yesterday. He was deeply committed to human rights law without idealising it. He recognised its power & value while acknowledging its limitations (& those of the people engaging with it). He was also an exceptional lawyer. This is a fitting final piece in the @lrb.co.uk

Deeply saddened to learn of the death of Conor Gearty
His contribution as a human rights scholar has been immense
His readiness to speak up for justice is one more human rights educators need to emulate

International student Yeonsoo Go, from South #Korea arrested when she went to renew her US visa
Who would opt to study in a #UnitedStates university in this climate?

Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center.
