  • Amicus Brief for Aref and Hossain
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK YASSIN AREF, Petitioner, Case No. 1:04-CR-402 (TJM) V. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. MOHAMMED MOSHARREF HOSSAIN, Petitioner, Case No. 1:04-CR-402 (TJM) V. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. Proposed AMICUS BRIEF Project SALAM, the Muslim Solidarity Committee And the Masjid As Salaam ________________________________________________________________________ On October 10, 2006, Yassin Muhidden Aref (hereinafter “Aref”), and Mohammed Mosharref Hossain (hereinafter “Hossain”) were convicted of terrorism-related charges in connection with an FBI sting involving the sale of a fake missile for a fictitious terrorist attack, and for money laundering. Aref was also convicted of one count of lying to the FBI. On March 8, 2007 the two defendants were sentenced to 15 years incarceration each. Their appeals to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and to the U.S. Supreme Court were denied, and they have exhausted their appellate remedies. Aref and Hossain have petitioned this court pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Section 2255 for, among other issues, the appointment of an independent prosecutor to review their cases to determine if the government and the courts provided them with necessary exculpatory information, a fair trial and justice. They seek relief similar to what was granted in People v. Theodore Stevens (a Stevens review), or what the Inspector General of the Department of Justice recommended in his June 10, 2009 Report to correct the failure of the Justice Department to identify and provide exculpatory information in terrorism cases – an independent review. Amici, Muslim Solidarity Committee (hereinafter “MSC”), Project SALAM (hereinafter “SALAM”), and the Masjid As-Salaam respectfully submit this Amicus brief, pursuant to Rule 29 in support of the defendants 2255 petition and to present information which may assist the court in deciding the issues raised by the defendants, especially where the defendants are unrepresented.

  • 9-11 and Terrorist Travel- Full
    AND TERRORIST TRAVEL Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 9/11 AND TERRORIST TRAVEL Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States By Thomas R. Eldridge Susan Ginsburg Walter T. Hempel II Janice L. Kephart Kelly Moore and Joanne M. Accolla, Staff Assistant Alice Falk, Editor Note from the Executive Director The Commission staff organized its work around specialized studies, or monographs, prepared by each of the teams. We used some of the evolving draft material for these studies in preparing the seventeen staff statements delivered in conjunction with the Commission’s 2004 public hearings. We used more of this material in preparing draft sections of the Commission’s final report. Some of the specialized staff work, while not appropriate for inclusion in the report, nonetheless offered substantial information or analysis that was not well represented in the Commission’s report. In a few cases this supplemental work could be prepared to a publishable standard, either in an unclassified or classified form, before the Commission expired. This study is on immigration, border security and terrorist travel issues. It was prepared principally by Thomas Eldridge, Susan Ginsburg, Walter T. Hempel II, Janice Kephart, and Kelly Moore, with assistance from Joanne Accolla, and editing assistance from Alice Falk. As in all staff studies, they often relied on work done by their colleagues. This is a study by Commission staff. While the Commissioners have been briefed on the work and have had the opportunity to review earlier drafts of some of this work, they have not approved this text and it does not necessarily reflect their views.

  • Federal Appeals Court to Hear Patrice Lumumba Ford Case
    For Immediate Release Media contact: Kent Ford (503) 287-8040 Federal Appeals Court to Hear Patrice Lumumba Ford Case Patrice Lumumba Ford's 18-year sentence will be reviewed by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on December 4 in Portland, Oregon. Ford received national media attention as part of The Portland Six, who were accused of being a "terrorist cell" in 2002. Ford's new lawyer, Shaun McCrea of Eugene, will argue that the sentencing guidelines for “treason” were erroneously applied in her client's case. Previously, Ford tried to obtain habeas relief on the grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel under 28 U.S.C. sec 2255, but that appeal was denied by the U.S. District Court late last year. McCrea's oral argument will be heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, December 4, at 9 a.m. at the Pioneer Courthouse, 700 S.W. 6th Avenue, Portland. Ford has been incarcerated since his initial arrest on October 4, 2002. Ford made a trip to China in October 2001 in the company of five other Portland men--mostly African-American converts to Islam. In China, he was denied entry to Pakistan, where he hoped to help at the Afghani refugee camps. After a month abroad, he returned to his home in Portland. One year later, federal agents nabbed Ford and the others who had traveled with him to China. Attorney General John Ashcroft called the group a "terrorist cell." It was never proven that Ford or the others had any connection to Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or any other terrorist organization.
