Freedom & Justice for Samar & Jawad
Sign Now
Samar Alami, a Palestinian Lebanese woman, and Jawad Botmeh, a Palestinian man, have been wrongfully convicted in relation to the 1994 bombings in London of the Israeli Embassy and Balfour House. They were sentenced to 20 years imprisonment and have been in prison ever since.
In November 2001, their appeal was dismissed although it revealed a series of "errors" and cover-ups on the part of the intelligence services, the police and the prosecution. The withholding of the bulk of the evidence raises serious doubts about the safety of the convictions. Amnesty International has stated its concern "that they have been denied the right to a fair trial" (5/11/2001).
We therefore call on the British authorities to declare their convictions unsafe and to release them so they can rebuild their lives.

I have followed these cases from begining. Throughout these two have, and still are suffering because of who they are; justice has been skewed to suit. Disgraceful that UK government and justice system can show such discrimination.
