A Worthwhile Petition

Friends,
Though it is a holiday season for many, two of our Muslim neighbors in Albany are not celebrating. They have accused and convicted on charges that amount to "being Muslim". They have been sent to jail and are now awaiting decision from the judge who heard the case. The link pasted below is for NorthEast for Peace and Justice Alliance (NEPAJAC). Please consider signing on to this asking for leniency and/or a retrial. If you have followed this case in the Times Union or if you will take the time to read the fact sheet at the NEPAJAC site, you know that this was a terribly obvious case of entrapment and that the men accused, deeply devout family men, have never in their lives been in trouble with the law and are very certainly not guilty in this instance. Please support Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain by signing on. Thank you.
