Demand End to U.S. Persecution of Palestinian-American Activist Hearing in the case of Rasmea Odeh is scheduled for TODAY, Sept. 2nd. On 22/10/2013 Rasmea, 67, was arrested by U.S. Dept of Homeland Security and charged with Unlawful Procurement of Naturalization for allegedly failing to disclose that she had been imprisoned by Israel over 45 years ago. In 1969, Israel brutally tortured Rasmea, eventually extracting from her a “confession” to a crime which she did not commit. The Obama administration has dusted off her 10-year-old application to become a U.S. citizen & charged her for allegedly omitting mention of her time in Israeli prison, despite the fact that Rasmea publicly testified at the U.N. about the torture she suffered while imprisoned. Attorneys representing Rasmea have filed a motion & brief to dismiss the indictment against her on the grounds that the charges are the product of an illegal investigation targeting both Palestine solidarity efforts and organizing in the Palestinian community. Why is Obamas DOJ prosecuting a torture victim? OBVIOUS! US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation
