PS: There may be a couple of you I included in this email - but that does not mean you're on my mailing list. I just needed to get this one out to everyone who cares about Shifa - and justice. */PLEASE READ FOR IMPORTANT CHANGES . . . / *_COMMUNITY MEETING POSTPONED to NEXT MONDAY - SEPTEMBER 28th -- 6:30pm_ IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS TO TAKE: 1) Please WRITE LETTERS - 1000 Letters to Judge Duffey to reduce the sentencing (info below and attached) 2) COMMUNITY MEETING _ September 28 at Project South offices 6:30pm 3) SENTENCING DATE -- October 22, 2009 <always subject to change by Federal Court> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) 1000 Letters to the Judge by October 1! URGE JUDGE DUFFEY to SENTENCE SHIFA & HARIS FAIRLY Shifa faces up to 60 years in prison and Haris faces 15 years. Shifa will be 83 years old before he gets out, if the judge throws the book at him which is likely. Student movements across Bangladesh have committed to sending 1000 letters. Let's match that in the US by sending 1000 personal letters to Judge Duffey, urging him to reduce the sentencing to time served (best case scenario) or the lowest sentencing possible in accordance with federal sentencing guidelines. *Template is attached* -- Please make it as personal and from the heart as possible!
