FLORIDA JUDGE REJECTS SECRET EVIDENCE
Ruling says Dr. Mazen Al-Najjar's constitutional rights were violated
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 6/1/2000) - A federal judge in Florida ruled on Wednesday
that Dr. Mazen Al-Najjar's rights were violated when he was jailed through
the use of secret evidence.
Today's St. Petersburg Times reports:
"In the most significant legal breakthrough for the former University of
South Florida teacher since his arrest three years ago, the judge implied
that immigration officials should make public their secret evidence against
Al-Najjar, so he can respond, if they want to keep him in jail.
"U.S. District Judge Joan A. Lenard ordered the Immigration and
Naturalization Service to have a new hearing to decide if Al-Najjar should
get bail and be allowed to rejoin his family while he appeals a deportation
order...
"...Al-Najjar, a Palestinian who has lived in the United States almost 20
years, has not been charged with a crime. He was ordered deported for
overstaying a student visa and was denied bail during his appeal, after the
government introduced secret evidence it says links him to terrorists...
"...The 43-year-old father of three is one of about two dozen immigrants
involved in secret evidence cases nationally. The immigrants are almost all
Arab or Muslim. Supporters say they are the victims of prejudice and
politics.
"In three recent cases in New Jersey, New York and California in which some
of the secret evidence was released, immigration judges reversed themselves
after the immigrants rebutted the allegations..."

"Once again, we see that when a court has the opportunity to address the use
of secret evidence, the practice is found to be unconstitutional," said CAIR
Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. Hooper also said CAIR is calling on
Muslims nationwide to contact their elected representatives and key members
of the House Judiciary Committee to ask that they support H.R. 2121, the
Secret Evidence Repeal Act. (Go to http://thomas.loc.gov. Search for bill
number H.R. 2121.)
The House Judiciary Committee recently held a hearing to discuss the bill
and is now considering whether it will go to the full House for a vote.
Several key members of the committee have not yet co-sponsored H.R. 2121. If
these members support the legislation, it can pass through the committee
without amendments.
