Rally and March

In Support of

Justice for Muslims Targeted by
Preemptive Prosecution

Monday, April 5, 2010

Meet at the Washington Avenue Armory at 6 P.M.
March to Albany City Hall, Eagle Street, Albany


Join us for a rally, march to City Hall, and
action to support justice for targeted Muslims.

Yassin Aref and Mohammed HossainHere in Albany, many people believe that two Muslim men, Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain, were preemptively prosecuted by the use of a long and costly FBI “sting” operation that resulted in their convictions and long prison sentences. Both men are still in prison — hundreds of miles from their wives and children.

On April 5, Albany City Councilman Dominick Calsolaro will introduce a resolution to the Albany City Common Council requesting that the U.S. Department of Justice implement the recommendation of its own Inspector General: to review ALL of the convictions of Muslims who have been preemptively prosecuted to determine whether these prosecutions met in all ways the high standards of truth, openness, fairness, and justice that are embodied in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The Muslim Solidarity Committee and Project SALAM (Support And Legal Advocacy for Muslims) invite you to join us for this rally and march to show your support for wrongfully prosecuted Muslims. After the march, anyone can address the Albany Common Council, and speak in favor of the resolution, for a maximum of five minutes at the Common Council meeting at 7 P.M.

Schedule of Events
6 P.M. Rally at Washington Ave. Armory • 6:15 March to Albany City Hall
6:45 Arrive at City Hall • 7 P.M. People may speak in favor of resolution at Common Council meeting
