Tom Martinez, Witness: Fahad Hashmi Vigil

 

Brooklyn College Professor Jeanne Theoharris speaking at the weekly vigil for Fahad Hashmi, a former Brooklyn College student who has been in solitary confinement for over two years without a trial (on charges of terrorism). 

He was finally given a court date of Dec. 2nd and there was a groundswell of support and organizing going on around that date. 

Last night the date was suddenly changed to January 6th with no explanation (advocates suspect an effort to thwart the strong show of support that had been building on Fahad's behalf).
