Palestinian rights activist Rasmea Odeh faces imprisonment and loss of US citizenship because she didn't mention a criminal conviction in Israel, which she says was a false confession that was beaten out of her.

I see the point that she ought to have mentioned the conviction and said it was false, rather than hiding the issue. Strictly speaking, what she did was wrong. However, it's also clear that she had reason to fear a second injustice would result from the first.

Since all she did was break a rule, not hurt anyone, the court ought to seek to remake the decision properly, as it should have been made given all the pertinent information.
