Sami Al-Arian, a professor at the University of South Florida, and an activist on behalf of Palestinian human rights, was arrested over 9 years ago on terrorism charges. His daughter, journalist Laila Al-Arian, tells The Nation how the FBI built a case against her father that was based on intimidation, coercion and pervasive fear. She wrote about [1] the case and the FBI's infilitratration of Muslim communities in The Nation's [2] special issue on Islamophobia. Be sure to also watch Moustafa Bayoumi's video [3] explaining how Muslims' everyday life is being criminalized.
