The Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on American Muslims and
other people of conscience to write letters in support of Dr. Sami
Al-Arian, a former Florida professor currently on his second hunger strike
in federal detention to protest alleged unjust treatment by U.S.
authorities. Al-Arian, who has already lost almost 30 pounds, began
refusing food and water on March 3rd to protest a third attempt by
prosecutors to compel his testimony in court.
