About Tarek Bazrouk

Tarek Bazrouk is a 20-year-old Palestinian Student and a lifetime NYC resident, whom the United States government has targeted for his stance against the colonization, displacement, and genocide of his people.

Tarek's charges were tied to his participation in 2024 pro-Palestinian rallies where notorious Zionist agitators claimed he punched them as they attempted to instigate a fight at a rally. These charges were pending in state court and scheduled to be dismissed. Instead, the FBI stepped in and convicted him on one count of federal "hate crime" charges.

These highly exaggerated and manipulative charges are part of a broader repression tactic aimed at suppressing the Palestinian liberation movement, and protecting the American government's genocidal interests.

Current Status

For over six months, Tarek was held in pre-trial detention in Brooklyn's notoriously inhumane Metropolitan Detention Center. At his sentencing on October 28th, 2025, he was sentenced to 17 months in federal prison.
