GOVERNMENT WINS APPEAL AGAINST RELEASE ON BAIL OF
MUSLIMS
Ismail Royer Denied Bail: Hammad Placed Under
House Arrest, Loses Job
[Backdrop of
India
& Lashkar Taiba]
Br. Mahair reports from Washington: On July
11, the
U.S.
government
appealed the release on bail of the White Muslim
brother, Ismail Royer. The Appeal
judge was convinced that Royer is a flight risk
and canceled his bail. All the
support from the Muslim community, including
offers of bail guarantees,
failed to move the judge.
His wife from Bosnia was in tears in the
court. She now has to take care
of four children.
[Numbers of Muslims from a local mosque
attended the hearing. Looks like
the need for support action is beginning to be
understood in the community.]
Also, New Trend reports: The Government
appealed against the release on
bail of African-American brother Hammad
Abdur-Raheem. Although the appeal did
not entirely succeed, NEW RESTRICTIONS were
placed on Br. Hammad and he is
now literally under HOUSE ARREST, not permitted
to step outside his door.
As a result, he has lost his job and will
face serious economic
hardships, with a wife and two children.
These Muslims, charged with tenuous links
with
Pakistan's
LASHKAR TAIBA,
are innocents, living their lives peacefully and
privately. The new U.S.
linkup with INDIA is the underlying cause of
their misery.
