A Palestinian student who said she was 'full of pride' after Hamas launched its October 7 attack on Israel says the Home Office has revoked her visa on the grounds of 'national security'.
Dana Abuqamar, 19, a law student at the University of Manchester, attended a pro-Palestine protest just one day after Hamas carried out its October 7 attack.
During the demonstration, Ms Abuqamar, president of Manchester Friends of Palestine, was filmed saying she was 'really full of joy' and 'proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point'.
She has now claimed that the UK Government has 'violated her human rights' by rescinding her student visa on the accusation that she is a 'risk to public safety'.
Her remarks in October were publicly condemned by policing minister Chris Philp.

Ms Abuqamar is in her final year as a law student.
Ms Abuqamar first made headlines after she was interviewed by Sky News during a pro-Hamas event in Manchester last October, one day after Hamas' attack on Israel.
She told the broadcaster: 'We are full of pride. We are really, really full of joy (at) what has happened.... We are proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point.'
Ms Abuqamar, speaking at another pro-Palestine march, said: 'We need to make it known that we will not be silenced.
'We are here to condemn the UK's support for Israel.'

A Palestinian student who said she was 'full of pride' after Hamas launched its attack on Israel has declared ‘I don’t regret it’ after the Home Office revoked her visa.
Dana Abuqamar, 19, a law student at the University of Manchester, attended a pro-Palestine protest just one day after Hamas carried out its horrific October 7 attack.
During the demonstration, Ms Abuqamar, president of Manchester Friends of Palestine, was filmed saying she was 'really full of joy' and 'proud that Palestinian resistance has come to this point'.
She has now claimed that the UK Government has 'violated her human rights'.
Ms Abuqamar has now doubled down on her inflammatory activism in a post on social media, declaring: ‘I do not regret standing up for my people, and I will continue to do so regardless of the repercussions.’
Ms Abuqamar said the Home Office revoked her visa on ‘national security’ grounds, as she was a risk to public safety
Whitehall sources confirmed that Ms Abuqamar’s visa had been rescinded over her comments following the October 7 attack and said it was revoked on the grounds she is ‘non-conducive to the public good’
Whitehall sources confirmed that Ms Abuqamar’s visa had been rescinded over her comments following the October 7 attack but disputed her claim that this was over ‘national security’ concerns and said that it was instead revoked on the grounds she is ‘non-conducive to the public good’.
‘The trigger was the comments after October 7. She did it in a very public way, to a huge crowd, on Sky News. It was brazen.
‘You have to remember she is not a British citizen, she is a visitor here. She is here on our generosity.’
According to the Home Office, behaviour deemed non conducive to the public good includes instances where people have engaged in unacceptable or extremist behaviour, such as activity which fosters hatred, or where the person is associated or has been associated with people involved in terrorism.
Dana Abuqamar, president of Manchester Friends of Palestine, was interviewed by Sky News during a pro-Hamas event in the city, a day after militants gunned down 260 innocent civilians at a music festival.

Policing minister Chris Philp, wrote: 'This is sick. I'm appalled that anyone holds these repugnant views.'
Professor Claire Alexander - head of the university's School of Social Sciences - failed to condemn the remarks, and supported Ms Abuqamar.
