BREAKING NEWS | ISB Files Orders to Shield Documents Islamic Society Asks Court to Shield Evidence of Land Transfer, Foreign Funding and Trustees From Public View; Asks Court for Order Keeping Evidence 'Attorneys' Eyes Only' By Kristin Erekson The Jewish Advocate September 15, 2006 The Islamic Society of Boston filed an emergency request this week for an order that would shield from public view all confidential documents obtained from any witnesses in their defamation suit, according to ISB spokeswoman Jane Lane. The ISB and two of its trustees, Dr. Yousef Abou-Allaban and Dr. Osama Kandil, submitted the emergency motion for entry of a protective order in Boston's Suffolk Superior Court on Monday, as their lawsuit against several Boston-area institutions, including WFXT-TV (Fox 25), the pro-Israel advocacy group The David Project, the Boston Herald and several other advocacy factions, continues to rage on. If granted, the order sought by the ISB will make all private documents obtained from any witnesses limited to attorneys' eyes only. They will not be shared with those being sued. Jeff Robbins, The David Project's lawyer, said this legal maneuver comes after he subpoenaed Steffian Bradley Architects in Boston, the designer of the ISB's substantial mosque and cultural center in Roxbury, on Aug. 25. This court case shakeup also follows the ISB issuing subpoenas to two members of the media last week, according to Lane. Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach, VA, was served papers after a series of talks on the Pat Robertson show about the ISB's lawsuit, Lane said. Waltham-based writer for The New Republic in Washington, D.C., Tamar Morad, was also subpoenaed due to conversations she may have recently had with defendants in the case, Lane added. "This is all what we call part of the discovery process," she said. "It's for evidence gathering, so we have the information to connect the dots in this case." The David Project served 13 additional third-party subpoenas in late August to several organizations such as the ISB's financiers Bank of America, the Muslim-American Society and the BRA's Deputy Director Muhammad Ali-Salaam.
