Dr. Al-Arian Moved Back to Florida

Tampa Bay Friends of Human Rights, a group that has supported Dr. Al-
Arian in the Bay area, recently released the following statement:

Sami Al-Arian has been moved to the Federal Prison in Coleman,
Florida. Currently, he is being held in the Special Housing Unit
(SHU) in the medium-security area. The SHU is for prison trouble-
makers, and treatment is quite harsh. He is allowed only one phone
call a month, and only one visit a week.

While in prison in Atlanta, Dr. Al-Arian (and the warden) received a
large number of letters, enough to get the attention of
administrators.

At this time, prison officials at Coleman are reviewing his case to
determine how he will be treated. Will he be kept in harsh
conditions or will he be allowed to join other people in the general
prison population?

Please write to Dr. Al-Arian to offer encouragement. And please
write polite letters to the Warden asking for humane treatment of
Dr. Al-Arian since a jury did not find him guilty of a single
charge.
