Momodou Taal

Momodou Taal – a professor, student at Cornell University, and principled leader in the Palestinian human rights space – became a target of coordinated repression by Cornell University and the U.S. government. For daring to speak out on Gaza, Momodou was doxxed by Betar US, targeted by name and vilified by powerful institutions, including Congress, and hunted by ICE, forcing him to go into hiding.

Project TAHA, working alongside Taal’s lead attorney, Eric Lee, and attorneys at the Arab American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), mounted an urgent legal and media defense on Taal’s behalf.

In the end, Taal made the courageous decision to leave the U.S. on his own terms, preserving his dignity and power. Today, he continues to fight for Palestinian liberation from abroad.
