Washington, October 3 (RHC)-- A new report has documented hundreds of cases of Palestinian rights activists in the United States being harassed, disciplined, fired, sued, censored or threatened for their advocacy around Palestine.

Eighty-five percent of these cases targeted students or scholars. The report was issued by the nonprofit organization Palestine Legal.

Nashiha Alam of the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at Loyola University Chicago spoke about facing harassment. She said: "Administration at Loyola often subjected members of Students for Justice in Palestine to FBI-style interrogations which lasted hours."
