MAS Freedom Encourages VA/DC/MD Community to Attend Dec. 5 Premier of USA vs. Al-Arain
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful
USA vs. Al-Arian Will be Screened at AMC/Loews Uptown 1 Theatre in Washington, DC Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 7:00 PM
WASHINGTON, DC – Nov. 29, 2007 - (MASNET) MAS Freedom (MASF), as the civic and human rights advocacy entity of the Muslim American Society (MAS), encourages the Muslim community to attend the December 5 premier of "USA vs. Al-Arain", the multi-awarded documentary film about controversial "terrorism-trial" against Dr. Sami Al-Arain.
"USA vs. Al-Arian" is a disturbing film on freedom of speech in post 9/11 America and political persecution. The film follows the arrest and trial of Sami Al-Arian, an Arab-American university professor accused of supporting a terrorist organization abroad.
For two-and-a-half years, Dr. Al-Arian was held in solitary confinement, denied basic privileges and given limited access to his attorneys. The film is an intimate family portrait documenting how a tight-knit family unravels before our very eyes as trial preparations, strategy and media spin consume their lives.
Norwegian Director Line Halvorsen has made a damning portrait of the case focusing on the trial’s emotional toll.
This is a nightmare come to life, as a man is prosecuted for his beliefs rather than his actions.
Wednesday, December 5, 2007 AMC/Loews Uptown 1 Theater 3426 Connecticut Ave., N.W.
A panel discussion will be held after the screening featuring:
Award-winning journalist of Democracy Now! Professor of Law, GeorgetownUniversity Trial Attorney, USA vs Al-Arian Professor of Law, GeorgeWashingtonUniversityLawSchool Director of "USA vs Al-Arian" (202) 552-7414 or (703) 998-6525 Toll Free: 1-(888)-627- 8471 Tickets may also be purchased at: Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center 3159 Row Street, Falls Church, Virginia22044 PURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE HERE OR TO REGISTER BY PHONE CALL (813) 514-1414
In 2006, after three years in solitary confinement with no convictions, Al-Arian agreed to a plea bargain to serve 11 more months in prison. He was to be deported in April 2007, but is still being held in a Virginia jail on civil contempt charges (he refuses to testify in an unrelated case). Dr. Al-Arian appeared in federal court on Oct. 17, 2007 at a hearing scheduled by Judge Gerald Lee to revisit the continuing civil contempt citation. The judge denied Dr. Al-Arian's motion for the contempt to be lifted. No reason was given for his decision. Another hearing is scheduled for mid-December.
