DESCRIPTION:Fight repression of political activists and the\npro-Palestine movement!\n 
 \nForum on The Political Trial of Palestinian Activist Amer Jubran and the 
 New McCarthyism\n\nHelp support the defense campaign for Amer Jubran, a 
 Palestinian right activist targeted for deportation by the Department of 
 Homeland Security for his activism on behalf of Palestine and in opposition 
 to U.S. militarism.  His trial takes place in the context of increased 
 surveillance and repression of political activists nationwide, from renewed 
 attacks on the pro-Palestinian activists, the “L.A. 8,” to attempts to 
 shut down anti-war and anti-globalization groups.  We must come together to 
 fight this new McCarthyism!\n \nPresentations will be followed by a short 
 film documenting police surveillance of Palestine activists, including Amer 
 Jubran \n * * * *\nAmer Jubran was arrested after helping to lead a protest 
 for Palestinian rights in Boston in November, 2002, and was detained by the 
 INS without charges initially. Amer is now facing a deportation order from 
 the Department of Homeland Security, and his trial has been rescheduled for 
 November 6.  The FBI has attempted to intimidate his witnesses and family 
 and there has been ongoing police surveillance, involving cooperation 
 between local and federal agencies in profiling Amer and other Palestine 
 activists.\n \nFull details of the case and support letters can be found at 
 www.amerjubrandefense.org\n \nSponsored by SUSTAIN-BAY AREA  and the AMER 
 JUBRAN DEFENSE COMMITTEE Cohosted by the American Arab Anti-Discrimination 
 Committee, San Francisco.\n \nFor more information, or to make donations to
