US professor speaks of detainment, censorship over Gaza advocacy

When NYC professor Danny Shaw returned to the US from peace conferences, he was allegedly detained, intimidated and harassed by the FBI because of his Gaza advocacy. Shaw, who was sacked from his position after nearly two decades at John Jay College of Criminal Justice a few months ago for his support to Palestinian human rights, says his constitutional rights have been violated and is now pressing charges for unlawful termination.
