Around the Nation: March 27, 2008

  1. Screening: 'The USA vs. Al-Arian'
    • New York, NY.
    • 6:30pm

    In December 2005, a Tampa jury acquitted Dr. Al-Arian of "terrorism" charges. Two years later he is still in prison, and in the ninth day of a hunger strike because the Bush Administration refuses to honor a May 2006 promise to release and deport him. Unless he receives proper medical care within days, he risks irreversible renal failure and death--all under the watchful eyes of the Bush "Justice" Department. New York University Law School, 40 Washington Square South, Vanterbilt Hall, Rm. 220. With an appearance by Laila Al-Arian.
