Though
Rasmea has been unjustly convicted, her struggle is far from over. Read Monday’s report from court
here.
Monday in front of supporters in the courtroom, US
marshals placed Rasmea in handcuffs and under arrest. She will be detained until
her sentencing, which is set for March 10, 2015. Our immediate and urgent task
is to fight for her release from jail. The Rasmea Defense Committee with
Students for Justice in Palestine is calling on Palestinian and Palestine
solidarity organizations and others committed to opposing political repression
across the United States to participate in a national week of action to win her
freedom now.
Participate in the week of action
Wednesday, November 12-18!
1. Write to Judge Drain and
urge him to release Rasmea right away. Click here for sample
letter.
2. Organize a protest at your local federal building or on your
campus. The SJP National Ad-Hoc
Steering Committee calls on all SJP chapters to participate by organizing
actions on your campuses on November 14, 2014.
3. Write letters of
support to Rasmea. Rasmieh Odeh #144979 St. Clair County
Jail 1170 Michigan Port Huron, MI. 48060
4. Organize a
fundraiser to help fund Rasmea’s defense. NSJP also calls on all
those who are able to donate money to Rasmea’s legal defense fund, so that they
can continue to zealously represent her and prepare for an
appeal.
