> Hi--
>
> Last month, we wrote to update you on the case of Syed Fahad Hashmi,
> a former Brooklyn College student being held in solitary confinement
> at MCC federal penitentiary on four charges of material support to
> Al Quaida. We sent that email at the beginning of the semester and
> it may have gotten caught in the deluge of back-to-school work and
> correspondence.

> I am writing to ask you take a small but important step to help
> alleviate the draconian conditions of Mr. Hashmi's confinement. As
> you might recall, the Attorney General imposed Special
> Administrative Measures (SAMs) on Hashmi in October 2007.
> Restricting his contact with the outside world, they threaten his
> mental health and ability to get a fair trial. The SAMs are up for
> review by Attorney General Michael Mukasey at the end of October.
> We are asking you to send an email to Mukasey and to Michael Garcia,
> US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, asking them to
> lift the SAMs. To read more on the SAMS and to send an email, go to

> Last month, nearly 400 people emailed the Attorney General. We are
> aiming for 1000 by the end of October. Please take a moment to
> send an email.
