Tampa Bay Coalition for Justice and Peace – May 3, 2004
Website for Dr. Sami Al-Arian launched
A new website about the case of Dr. Sami Al-Arian, a Palestinian political prisoner in Florida has been launched. It can be accessed at: www.freesamialarian.com
The website, an educational resource for those who would like more information about the case, features updated press releases and news coverage, Dr. Al-Arian's biography, a section describing the Al-Arian case, and suggestions on how to help.
Dr. Al-Arian, who has been denied the right to a speedy trial and who has already spent 438 days in prison under extremely harsh and punitive conditions, needs your help now more than ever. The case is progressing well, and as more and more "evidence" is examined, we are confident that justice will prevail and Dr. Al-Arian's innocence will be proven. However, in order to ensure that he will receive a fair trial, we need your generous contributions to compensate for rising legal bills.
Supporters can donate securely online (at www.freesamialarian.com's "How to Help" page) to the National Liberty Fund, a national organization that coordinates community efforts to defend the civil and political rights of American Muslims. The NLF is focusing its initial attention on Dr. Al-Arian's case. Or, checks can be sent to: National Liberty Fund, P.O. Box 3568, Washington, D.C. 20007.
