After judges refused to reinstate his travel and

immigration ban, Donald Trump is reportedly set

to revise his initial executive order. The revised

order will still impose temporary travel

restrictions on citizens of seven Muslim-majority

countries – Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Yemen,

Sudan, and Libya.

But it will exempt US green-card holders

fro te porar travel a . Tru p’s decision to tweak his original executive

order, however, will not prevent the

scholars and intellectuals to fight the travel

ban.

More than 4000 scholars decided to

protest agai st Tru p’s e e utive order by boycotting academic

conferences to be held in the United

States. A petition circulating in the

websphere carries signatures of

thousands of academicians and

faculty members from many

countries.

The petition states that the executive order

blocks free communication of ideas by not

allowing citizens from certain countries to

attend international academic conferences.

Also, executive order prevents participants

from these Muslim-majority countries from

attending international academic conferences

held in the United States.
