7. Your header is misleading. The student was kidnapped, not her lawyer.

The lawyer did her job by filing and getting a court order to keep the student in MA; the lawyer couldn't have done that job if she herself had been kidnapped.

Which is understandable since the original AP title is also misleading:

Lawyer for Turkish student at Tufts University detained by feds calls for government to produce her

.

The AP has since changed its news title to

Turkish student at Tufts University is latest Palestinian supporter swept up in US crackdown
