Freedom of Speech.

[klingtai]

Har "patrioter" kastet The Constitution i dass? Hva med "freedom of speech" som ekte patrioter alltid har opphøyd som RETT og ikke et privilegium?

 

Nei, nå er det ikke stort igjen av Amerika karer!!

 

Son Of Saudi Opposition

Leader Jailed In Seattle

An Urgent Call To Protect Freedom of Speech

And to Support Majid Al-Mass'ari,

Imprisoned by the US Authorities

From PIR

8-12-4

 

 

On the 17th of July 20004, the American authorities imprisoned Majid Al-Mass'ari, son of Prof. Muhammad Al-Mass'ari, the prominent dissident and opposition leader to the Aal Saud regime. Prof. Muhammad Al-Mass'ari is the secretary general of the Party for Islamic Renewal (PIR) and he holds a doctorate degree in theoretical and mathematical physics from the university of Cologne, Germany. He was chair-professor of theoretical physics at Riyadh University, Saudi-occupied Arabia, before he escaped to his current exile in London in 1994.

 

Majid resides in the US since early 1994 after he arrived for his post-graduate studies. Once he earned his master in Physics and Laser Applications mid 1997, he applied for political asylum. That application is still pending. He has been working the last three years in the Computer Center, College of Nursing, University of Washington in Seattle. His career record is exceptional. He is also extremely popular with superiors and colleagues alike.

 

Professor Muhammad Al-Mass'ari propagates, through Radio and Internet, his ideological and political views against the despotic and corrupt Aal Saud regime. That is why the Aal Saud family considers him as one of their main enemies, and a lethal danger to their feudal dark-age client regime, which resembles a criminal Mafia organization devoid of the characteristics of a modern state, not to speak of an Islamic state!

 

Aal Saud continued to persuade the British Government over the last ten years to extradite or deport Professor Al-Mass'ari, unfortunately finding sympathy and co-operation from HMG (Her Majesty's Government!). But the independent British judiciary frustrated these attempts certifying for the peaceful, intellectual and political nature of his campaign.

 

The British court decisions were a decisive defeat for Aal Saud's un-Islamic and immoral attempts to undermine freedom of speech and break International Law. But now it seems that they finally, due to their "special relationship" with their American masters, found a new "complicity" in a fresh attempt to silence the free voice, and to frustrate the lawful opposition.

 

Imprisoning Majid Al-Mass'ari is nothing but a new lowly attempt to achieve in the US what the Aal Saud Mafia has failed, until now miserably, to obtain in the UK: Silencing the voice of lawful political opposition, by exerting pressure on his family.

 

Majid has not been allowed, for the duration of about ten days, to contact his family. He also has been deprived of his right to contact his lawyer. Family or lawyer were not informed as mandated by law, or at least as a courtesy due to common civilized behavior!

 

Luckily Majid participated actively, almost on a daily basis, in the Radio and Internet campaign of PIR, so when he remained "silent" for over a week, his family in London became worried. Repeated contacts at his home produced no results. His work place was called and they were worried too as he did not come to work for about a week. Then contacts were made with all possible institutions: hospitals, police stations, the INS (Immigration and naturalization Service), etc and none of them had any information about him!

 

Finally they called the FBI where the switch-board claimed first that this name is unknown to them. The lady on the switch-board then hesitated a little before suggesting a transfer of the call to one of the FBI Agents, who is supposed to be able to help. The Agent informed them, that Majid is actually under arrest at a "certain office" of the immigration authorities. He declined to give the contact numbers of that "office", as they are normally uncooperative and unfriendly, he claimed. He offered to follow matters up by himself. He took the London contact numbers, but the issue was, as he claimed: minor, and no need to worry!

 

After many difficulties and extreme effort, his lawyer Ms. Cheryl Nance found out that he was in a "maximum security prison", that he was denied a copy of the Qur'aan he requested, and that he was isolated from the outside world from day one. His case was by no means minor as he was subject to possible deportation from the US and extradition to the grip of Aal Saud where he would certainly face imprisonment and torture, if not extrajudicial execution!

 

What happened to Majid would have never occurred if the Bush's government had not tampered with the American Constitution by enacting its oppressive and dangerous "National Security Laws".

 

It is worth mentioning that Majid Al-Mass'ari, who descends from a family of thinkers, scholars and activists, was born in the city of At-Ta'yif, a suburb of holy Makkah, on Thursday, 11th of June, 1970 (6th of Rabee' Thani 1390). He graduated with a bachelor degree in physics and astronomy from King Saud university in Riyadh with distinction, which qualified him for an appointment as a research assistant at KACST (King Abdul-Azeez City for Sciences and Technology) and then, a year later, earning a government scholarship for post-graduate study in the US, where he arrived in early 1994.

 

The way the charges are formulated shows that the intention is to deport him. If this is not achieved immediately, then to extend the trial until Majid and his family are unable to pay its heavy expenses, or until they go bankrupt.

 

Thus we urge YOU to support Majid Al-Mass'ari by all possible means, from: Prayers, contacting Human Right Organizations, campaigning in the media, writing and publishing; to: Financial support to defray the heavy costs of the legal battle, which threatens to be lengthy and outdrawn.

Freedom of speech til en viss grad, men vi må ikke la ekstremister (eksempelvis islamister) utnytte det.

[Kebab GUD]

hva med å la ekstremister som KKK eller Bush utnytte det da?

de sitter jo bare å ser på at KKK snakker ..

Hm. En hel "artikkel" som gar uten a si hva Majid har faktisk blitt fengslet for. Dette er typisk. Forovrig finner jeg bare en artikkel pa Rense som er den du har funnet, selv om det er et propaganda brev, og ikke en artikkel.

Jeg finner ingen annen informasjon om Majid.

Rart. Vel. Egentlig ikke.
