Zahid Chaudhry is President of Veterans For Peace 109, Rachel Corrie Chapter. A wheelchair-bound US Military veteran, he survived four months of illegal ICE detention, including torture in solitary confinement, and is the subject of Service and Sacrifice: One American Soldier’s Fight to Defend the US Constitution. Honoring his Soldier’s Oath, he refused to help frame innocent people as terrorists or join unlawful surveillance—costing him his citizenship and bringing 25+ years of persecution. His ICE detention, timed to disrupt his case, prompted the VA to strip his last remaining benefits. He remains a courageous voice for integrity and the Republic.
