A petition signed by 1,170 doctors and other medical professionals urged Brown University not to allow a pro-Hezbollah professor to teach at the institution, regardless of the outcome of her deportation hearing.

The petition, authored by the National Jewish Advocacy Center, pleads with Dr. Louis Rice, head of the Department of Medicine, not to welcome Dr. Rasha Alawieh back in her role as assistant professor after she expressed support for the Lebanese terror group.

According to Homeland Security, Alawieh, who is a kidney transplant specialist, said she supported late Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an IDF strike, and even traveled overseas for his funeral before being detained by authorities on the way back.
