Sheikh Omer Abderrahmane, is an elderly Egyptian
cleric imprisoned in 1995 under sedition laws last
used during the American civil war. Convicted of
wishing to blow up the world trade centre and
overthrowing Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the
Sheikh is now serving several life sentences in
Springfield Prison, Missouri. The Sheikh�s alleged
crimes were not even for conspiracy, but for simply
having the desire. His lawyer, a former US attorney
general Ramsey Clark, has since his client's
internment been denied access to his client, and
recently wrote to the current attorney general Janet
Reno claiming that there was an attempt by the prison
authorities to kill the Sheikh. This comes in the wake
of repeated abuse and humiliation by guards, who strip
searched and internally examined the Sheikh before and
after each visit he received. The Sheikh is 59 years
old, is blind and suffers from diabetes and a number
of other complaints, some of which are life
threatening. He has consistently been refused a
translator (he does not speak English), and since
March 1997 has been kept in solitary confinement in
dark and filthy conditions. Clark states in his
letter, 'It would be difficult to devise a crueller
plan to kill him.'
The Sheikh has always denied that he ever wanted or
plotted to blow up sites in the US, but admits that as
a Muslim and a believer in universal justice he would
like to see the oppressive regime of Hosni Mubarak
overturned. Whether the Clinton administration likes
it or not, there isn't a single human rights
organisation whatever their background who views
Mubarak as anything other than the leader of a regime
with one of the worst records of internal repression
and abuse.
In the British au pair Louise Woodward's case,
everyone in the UK waits for an official reaction from
the British government, so far silent. This is not
surprising, despite their interference in the Saudi
nurses case. In a recent letter to a Labour MP writing
on behalf of a concerned constituent, Derek Fatchett
Minster at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office states,
"As for Sheikh Omer Abderrahmane, I am afraid we have
neither cause nor standing to intervene in this case.
The Sheikh was tried and imprisoned in accordance with
US law for a crime committed in the US." In May,
Sheikh Omer Abderrahmane filed a law suit charging
federal officials with violating his human rights. His
wife, still in Cairo complains that he is only allowed
one five minute phone call to them every month. In a
country which boasts a constitution granting freedom
of thought and expression, Sheikh Omer languishes in a
literal dungeon, the true reflection of American
'justice'.
Please write to Sheikh Omer Abderrahmane, giving him
your messages of support at MCFP-PO Box 4000,
Springfield, MO, 65801-4000, USA. Please also write to
the governor of the prison asking him to stop the
harassmenet of Sheikh Omer Abderrahmane. The Sheikh
has been abused, and mistreated by prison guards, and
denied his basic rights of worship.

SHEIKH OMER ABDERRAHMANE�S PLIGHT
Since the end of March 1997, the Sheikh has been held
incommunicado. He has been prohibited visits from the
media, friends, or even from clergy or spiritual
counsellors. He has been deprived of a translator. The
Sheikh does not speak English, and cannot communicate
with his jailors. He is in solitary confinement, and
has in the past been subjected to humiliating internal
examinations without reason. He is not even allowed to
join his fellow Muslims in prayer on Fridays. No
report has been submitted to his solicitor regarding
his health (the Sheikh is blind and diabetic) for over
a year. Please write to President Bill Clinton asking
for the immediate release of Sheikh Omer Abderrahmane,
and the restoration of his basic rights. (See below
for background)

WHO IS SHEIKH OMER ABDERRAHMANE? Sheikh Omer
Abderrahmane, is an aged, blind cleric imprisoned in
the USA for 'sedition'. He was accused of
masterminding the World Trade Center bombing in 1994.
However, no evidence was produced to support this.
Instead the Sheikh has been imprisoned using a law
which was last used in America during the civil war!
'Sedition' means to conspire, or to have discussions
against a government. By that description, anyone
opposing New Labour in Britain, or the Republicans in
Congress or Bill Clinton as President of the USA, is
guilty of sedition. The Sheikh is well-known for his
support of the Islamic movement, and the IHRC as well
as many other organisations see the jailing of the
Sheikh for life, as imprionment for the sake of
belief. Please help us campaign for his immediate
release, as well as an immediate improvement in the
standards in which he is being kept.
