II. HOW TO HELP OUT EVEN MORE
8. Call the Honorable John Conyers, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the United States House of Representatives: (202) 225-5126. Tell him to contact the Department of Justice and the ICE and to demand that Dr. Al-Arian be deported as soon as possible in accordance with the terms of the plea agreement. (see talking points in 10 below)
- Dr. Al-Arian has not been found guilty by the jury in a 6 months trial in 2005;
- He signed a plea agreement with the government which clearly stipulated that:
- He would be deported as soon as possible.
- He would NOT be required to testify or cooperate in any other investigation.
- Despite this, a federal prosecutor in Virginia subpoened Dr. Al-Arian to testify in a blatant disregard for the terms of the plea agreement.
- Dr. Al-Arian's prison term ended --> his indictment since is then COMPLETELY ILLEGAL
- Dr. Al-Arian is clearly being persecuted for his political beliefs.
