Chicago, February 7 (RHC)-- Two students at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois have been criminally charged after they published a mock version of the school’s newspaper.
The mock paper included a front-page article accusing Northwestern’s administration of being complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
The Intercept reports that the students, who are both Black, are being charged under a little-known statute written to prevent the Ku Klux Klan from distributing recruitment materials in newspapers.
The students face up to a year in prison and a $2,500 fine.
