I don't know how long DP will be staying in Columbus, but if he is 
gonna be here until Wednesday night, he should attend the following 
event.  I met Michele Swensen once at a CAIR-Ohio event -- she is a 
very sweet woman.  As it is likely to be a small protest, even one 
additional body will help.

Operation Equal Protection.

Support Ashraf Al-Jailani and Family  and Call for Due Process for 
all persons and the Rights of the "accused" as guaranteed in the Bill 
of Rights.

Location:  The Federal Building (Columbus, OH), 200 North High St. 
(at the corner of Spring and High -- next to the post office)
Date & Time: Wednesday, July 21, 2004, 5:00 PM

If you'd been around to protest the Japanese interment camps in the 
1940's, would you have done it? If you'd been around to protest 
Hitler's crimes against humanity, would you have stood by the 
targeted populations? Don't let another day go by without standing up 
for the targeted populations in the U.S.A. Unsubstantiated suspicions 
of "terrorism" ties, based on ethnic, religious, and cultural 
profiling alone, has led the Departments of Justice and Homeland 
Security to deny Ashraf Al-Jailani's due process rights, three times 
overriding (through appeals and delaying tactics) the rulings by an 
immigration judge to release him.  Father of three children and 
husband to Michele Swenson, of Kent, Ashraf is one of many Arab, 
Muslim, and South Asian immigrants who remain detained and denied due 
process rights, due to inappropriate "security" arrests and an 
anti-immigrant climate in the culture.

This rally is endorsed by Columbus Campaign for Arms Control, the 
Progressive Peace Coalition, and other local peace and justice 
groups.  For more information, contact: <chammon at columbus.rr.com>
