Teach-In Sun Nov 6 1-3 pm at OA
The Muslim Solidarity Committee presents:

First They came for the Muslims: What you Need to Know about the FBI Attacks on Muslims

* Shamshad Ahmad, President of Albany's Masjid-As-Salam (mosque) will speak about the case of Imam Yassin Aref and businessman Mohammed Hossain, who were unfairly entrapped in an FBI sting operation in 2004 and who are serving 15 year sentences

*Lynne Jackson will speak about the horrendous prison conditions faced by many of the prisoners in these cases

*Kathy Manley will speak about how the FBI and DOJ are engaging in a policy of "preemptive prosecution" and using provocateurs, guilt by association, overbroad material support laws and secret evidence to target hundreds of innocent Muslims (and some non-Muslims) who often end up with long prison sentences

*Dominick Calsolaro will speak about the 2010 Resolution passed 10-0 by the Albany Common Council which asks the federal government to do an independent review of these cases
