Busboys & Poets Hosts Mahmoud Khalil in conversation with Karen Attiah

Busboys and Poets is proud to host a special conversation between prominent Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil and Karen Attiah, a journalist and Founder of the Resistance Study Series. 

Mahmoud Khalil, recently released after more than 100 days in U.S. immigration detention, is pursuing legal action against the government while continuing his advocacy for Palestinian rights and free expression.

Moderated by Karen Attiah, this event will also explore the broader implications of Khalil’s story: the intersections of immigration, human rights, and U.S. foreign policy — and what it means to stand firm in one’s convictions despite extraordinary personal costs.
