The Weekly Wire Dear Friends, Greetings from the Project on Middle East Democracy! Last week, the Bahraini government handed down severe prison sentences to human rights activists and opposition leaders, and reports of torture in hospitals emerged. The international community escalated criticism of the Syrian regime, with calls for a U.N. resolution and expanded E.U. sanctions. Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman called for an immediate political transition on his visit to Yemen, while the security situation continued to deteriorate. Ousted Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was sentenced to 35 years in prison in absentia. In Morocco, scholars debated the significance of the King’s proposed constitutional reforms. Look for next week to be dominated by continued violence in Syria, ongoing military trials in Bahrain, and a referendum vote on constitutional reforms in Morocco. For more detailed coverage of the debates surrounding U.S. foreign policy and the prospects for democracy in the Middle East, be sure to check out our blog, the POMED Wire.

The Weekly Wire June 27, 2011 Legislation The U.S. House of Representatives voted against a one-year authorization for the use of force in Libya. The bill, H.J. RES 68 , sponsored by Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) was defeated 123- 295, Democrats voted 225-8 against the bill and Republicans voted 115-70 in favor of the bill. The same day, the House voted against legislation to cut funding for the Libya efforts. The bill, H.R. 2278, sponsored by Rep. Tom Rooney (R-FL) was defeated 180-238. Democrats voted 149-36 against the bill and Republicans voted 144-89 in favor of the bill. Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA) introduced H.R. 2215, the Hezbollah Anti-Terrorism Act of 2011 (HATA), to “prohibit U.S. foreign assistance to a Hezbollah-dependent Lebanese government.” Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) introduced S. Res. 102, co-sponsored by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and several others. The bill endorses the administration’s intervention in Libya, but limits U.S. intervention and expires after one year. Committee Hearings The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations held a nomination hearing for five ambassadors to the Middle East and Central Asia. The first of the hearing’s two panels featured Anne W. Patterson, to be Ambassador to the Arab Republic of Egypt. The second panel featured Michael H. Corbin, to be Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Matthew H. Tueller, to be Ambassador to the State of Kuwait, and Susan L. Ziadeh, to be Ambassador to the State of Qatar. The hearing was presided over by Chairman John Kerry (D-MA), and ranking member Richard Lugar (R-IN). The House Committee on Foreign Affairs hosted a hearing entitled “Iran and Syria: Next Steps.” The hearing was chaired by Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). Also in attendance was Ranking Member Howard Berman (D-CA). The witnesses were Ambassador John R. Bolton, Senior Fellow, American Enterprise Institute; Olli J. Heinonen, Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School; and Dr. Robert Satloff, Executive Director, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Also, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia held the second hearing on “Preserving Progress: Transitioning Authority and Implementing the Strategic Framework in Iraq.” Witnesses included Max Boot, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow for National Security Studies, Council on Foreign Relations; Michael Eisenstadt, Director of Military & Security Studies Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy; Richard Fontaine, Senior Fellow, Center for New American Security; and Marisa Cochrane Sullivan, Deputy Director, Institute for the Study of War. From Washington U.S. Statements on Syria: State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland criticized President Bashar al-Assad’s speech, and Spokesman Mark Toner said the U.S. would like to see immediate change in Syria. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described the events in Syria as “very worrisome” and predicted that violence could escalate. Former State Department Spokesperson P.J. Crowley argued that U.S. hesitation “carries real costs,” and that the White House should declare that Assad has lost all legitimacy. Syria Faces International Pressure: U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford and UNHCR officials traveled to northern Syria, where they noted large-scale displacement and the “fears and trauma” of the refugees. A senior Turkish official gave Assad a week to begin reforms before an unspecified “foreign intervention.” President Barack Obama agreed with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the Syrian regime must cease its crackdown and enact reforms. The EU agreed to extend sanctions against Syria, which were denounced by Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Moallem. Prominent literary figures called on the U.N. Security Council to pass the resolution against Syria. State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner reiterated U.S. support for the resolution. Condemnation and Calls for Reform in Bahrain: Jonathan Whittall of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) alleged that security forces regularly tortured patients at the hospital that the 47 medical professionals currently on trial were working in. Human Rights organizations criticized the recent verdicts against 21 opposition figures. Brian Dooley , Malcolm Smart, and Joe Stork condemned the sentences, along with International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), Reporters Without Borders and more. State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner expressed concern and reiterated calls for inclusive dialogue. Assistant Secretary of State Michael H. Posner emphasized the strong relationship between the U.S. and Bahrain, and called for reforms. Justin Gengler identified weaknesses in Bahrain’s National Dialogue Initiative. Disagreement on U.S. Role in Libya: Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John McCain (R-AZ) chastised the growing isolationism in Congress and those threatening to undermine U.S. operations in Libya. Daniel Horowitz criticized their remarks; Jonathan Tobin defended them. Marc Lynch wrote that the administration should not shy away from Congressional approval. Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) wrote an op-ed in opposition to U.S. withdrawal from Libya. U.S. Calls for Transition in Yemen: Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman called for an “immediate” transition under the GCC agreement. There was disagreement between sources about the likelihood of President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s return. State Department Spokesman Mark Toner emphasized the need for progress in the GCC transition efforts, and noted “conflicting reports” about the prison break. Daniel Green argued that the prison break demonstrates that the threat posed by al-Qaeda is concentrated in rural areas. Debate on Role of Monarchies: Paul Richter and Neela Banerjee discussed how the Arab Spring has put Saudi Arabia and the United States on a “collision course.” Jillian Schwedler argued against the idea of monarchical exceptionalism. The State Department said that GCC invitations to Morocco and Jordan are an internal matter. And the Editorial Board for the Washington Post argued that several monarchies are rejecting the Saudi strategy and looking for ways to compromise on reform without causing revolution, citing Morocco. Moroccan Reforms Analyzed: Marina Ottaway argued that the constitutional reforms announced by King Mohammed VI will cause significant change only with popular and parliamentary action. Betwa Sharma asserted that many are satisfied with the pace of reform, and the February 20 movement will lose steam. Nicholas Kritsof argued Moroccan reforms could serve as a moderate example. State Department Spokesperson Victoria Nuland said that the U.S. is “encouraged” by the proposals, and “we’re watching closely.” Clinton: Saudi Women Drivers are “Brave”: In an open letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Saudi Women for Driving coalition criticized the “quiet diplomacy” approach and called on the Secretary to express her public support. Clinton then called Saudi women “brave,” but her comments appeared to reflect a weariness to exacerbating tensions with Saudi Arabia. Maureen Dowd defended Clinton’s remarks. Fate of the TNC and Qadhafi: A piece in The National expressed concern over indications that Libya’s Transitional National Council is stepping beyond its mandate as an emergency body. And the International Criminal Court will meet Monday to decide whether Muammar Gadhafi and his son, Saif al Islam, should be arrested for civilian attacks. Ben Ali Trial Commentary: An editorial in Le Monde criticized the case against ousted president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali citing the hypocrisy of his military trial. Robert Zeliger commented on the lessons learned from this trial. Human Rights and Religious Power in Iran: The UN Human Rights Council appointed Ahmed Shaheed as the special rapporteur to Iran. Mehdi Khalaji discussed how Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s influence has prohibited state-building and fostered “religious despotism.” Commentary on Islamism and Elections: Irena L. Sargsyan discussed the “Islamicization of politics” stemming from government failures to implement reform. Steven Cook discussed political and economic developments in Egypt. Eric Trager authored an assessment of the ongoing political maneuverings, and the Washington

  • May 2013 Prison Break
    Prison Break Correctional Liability Update May 2013 Housing Gang Members Together: Can a Blood and a Crip Just Get Along? By Susan E. Coleman Inmates who are assaulted by other inmates, whether cell mates, co- workers, or inmates on the yard, often sue prison administrators for failing to protect them. After all, the Eighth Amendment has been interpreted by the courts to include a duty to protect prisoners. However, a vague risk of harm simply because prisons are violent places which house dangerous criminals is not enough to create liability; something more specific is required. In the case of Labatad v. Corrections Corporation of America, et al, decided on May 1, 2013, the Ninth Circuit found that even housing rival gang members together was insufficient under the circumstances to find that defendants were deliberately indifferent. Labatad, a State of Hawaii inmate incarcerated at the Saguaro Correctional Center, operated by the Corrections Corporation of America Susan E. (“CCA”), was assaulted by his cellmate in July 2009. Naturally, Labatad Coleman is sued CCA for failing to protect him, alleging deliberate indifference to a partner at his safety under the Eighth Amendment. Because Labatad’s assailant the law firm was a member of a rival prison gang, this suit might at first blush seem of Burke, to have some merit, in that prison officials should be aware of Williams & longstanding prison gang rivalries. For example, in California it would Sorensen, be highly unusual to house a Black Guerrilla Family associate with a where she Mexican Mafia affiliate, and some would argue that a violent specializes confrontation would be foreseeable.

  • Escape of Nine Prisoners from the Kenitra Prison in Morocco The
    Escape of Nine Prisoners from the Kenitra Prison in Morocco The Incident On 7 April 2008, nine men convicted of terrorist offences escaped from a prison in Kenitra, Morocco located 25 km north of the capital city of Rabat. The escape occurred around 5.30 a.m after dawn prayer. The prisoners escaped by digging a tunnel which surfaced in the backyard of the prison director’s house.1 They are believed to have had assistance both inside the prison and outside the tunnel. The Moroccan authorities said all nine prisoners had been convicted of offences related to the 2003 Casablanca bombings, which killed 45 people and represent the largest terrorist attack in Moroccan history.2 In a note left behind in the prison, the prisoners apologized for causing a “disturbance” but claimed that escaping was the last resort left to them after repeated efforts to demonstrate their innocence. They also complained of poor treatment within the prison, which they cited as a motivation in the escape. Two of the prisoners had been sentenced to death; four were serving life sentences, and the remaining three had been sentenced to twenty years in prison.3 The Escaped Prisoners The nine escaped prisoners are believed to have met only in prison, where they planned their escape. They apparently belonged to different terrorist cells and networks. In the aftermath of the 2003 bombings, more than 1400 Moroccans associated with Salafism were arrested and charged with terrorism related activities. These nine appear to have been detained in that sweep and subsequently convicted of various offences.4 The escaped prisoners are as follows: - Abdullah Bo Ghumair, alias Abu Hafs: Sentenced for life in August 2003 for the murder of a French citizen.

My name is Sally Satel. I’m a resident scholar at AEI, and very excited today to have our book panel on a fascinating book by Steve Teles and his coauthor, who will join us for Q&A later, David Daga called “Prison Break: Why Conservatives Turned against Mass Incarceration.” The book is about the embrace of prison reform by the right and the story really of what Steve and David call trans-partisanship, not quite the same as bipartisanship, as they’ll explain, and how that’s led to new agreements and new legislation regarding who and how to imprison. Also, seductively, the book touches on how to generate policy breakthroughs in a time of a great political polarization — something like we have today. Clearly, it’s a very timely issue of legislation on sentencing reform is winding its way through — tumultuously, through the Hill. And very recently, in fact, FBI Director James Comey made comments that, frankly, strike me as quite accurate but are certainly inflammatory, about the rising crime rates. So all of that’s going on in the backdrop. So today we’re going to start with a presentation by Steve on the book’s major themes, the dynamics of the right on crime movement.

  • As a Prison Reform Measure to Improve Offenders' Treatment In
    151ST INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE PARTICIPANTS’PARTICIPANTS’ PAPERS PAPERS “RECEPTION AND ORIENTATION COMMISSION”AS A PRISON REFORM MEASURE TO IMPROVE OFFENDERS’ TREATMENT IN MOROCCO Abderahim Rahouti* I. INTRODUCTION Prison management in Morocco has suffered during the last decades from different problems and difficulties due to many factors such as overcrowding, shortage of staff and funding, ineffective offender orientation and classification, insufficient staff training, etc. Such problems have had negative impacts on the main correctional mission, which is the achievement of safer prisons and less reoffending. Thus, thanks to the royal will and directives to reform the prison system in 2008, the new correctional department’s managers carried out a detailed diagnostic analysis of the current situation after which they elaborated strategic plans and took different measures to make the change and provide solutions to many persisting problems. The ultimate objectives of such reform projects were to improve offenders’ conditions, enhance their rehabilitation, maintain security and discipline in prisons and manage them with more professionalism. One of the main measures which was strongly emphasized and produced satisfactory results was the creation of a “Reception and Orientation Commission” in each facility. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on this new experience in the correctional department in Morocco. The correctional studies and research achieved recently proved that many prison management problems are basically due to inappropriate offender reception, orientation and classification. For this reason, there was a reconsideration of the procedures in question, which led to the creation of a commission of reception and orientation in each prison. This measure was a special event in and of itself and a real initiative to improve offender treatment in Morocco.
