ALJAZ The Holy Land Five P2 January 13, 2018

Accusations that he wrong is funneling weapons into the country for who she fights says the United Arab Emirates is also accused of running torture camps in the country our diplomatic editor james bays hussain the reports how small. This report which hasnt been made public but which i have read will be very tough reading for the fifteen members of the u. N. Security council is critical of all sides in the war in yemen critical of the Saudi Led Coalition for civilian casualties it says that some of those who planned and executed airstrikes which have ended up targeting civilians might be subject to sanctions that some of the Security Council will have to decide on it says that one of the countries involved in that coalition of the u. A. E. Has been responsible for torture in yemen it talks about beatings electrocution constrained suspension the use of what it calls the cage confinement in a cage in the sunlight and the denial of medical treatment criticism too though for the who theories and for iran it says that there appears to be evidence that military equipment and drones have actually been transferred from iran to the who thiis again that could be a breach of u. N. Resolutions and earlier we spoke to Peter Salisbury who is a Senior Consulting fellow with a middle east and north Africa Program at Chatham House he told us the report shows yemen is fragmenting into several regional conflicts and a fresh approach to paste may be necessary the issue that we have right now if we have is we have a un that Peace Process which is really fixed focused on the idea of a single conflict a binary conflict between the who these formerly the who thinks are alliance on one side and the government of yemen backed by saudi arabia on the other and when in reality what you have is multiple interlinked sort of overlapping conflicts going on and rivalries going on so that if a peace deal is reached simply between the who is on the one hand and the government of yemen on the other hand that means that youre excluding a lot of different groups who are. Very involved in the conflict of control over different areas and that in turn creates incentives for them to generate new conflict again in the future so we might see the big war the big conflict that were looking at from the outside and doing descend into a series of smaller conflicts for regional autonomy dozens of pro who see women have demonstrated in an armed protest in yemen as capital sanaa leaders called on the female supporters to hold a rally as a show of support against the Saudi Led Coalition the protesters said they are committed to finding a solution to the crisis saying they would support yemens army and myself force and. We came out today to prove to the Saudi Led Coalition that our men and women are capable of facing them for a thousand years not only a thousand days. We want to show the arab world to clear up to the task and women will stand by the men. Israeli forces have fired tear gas at palestinians protesting against the detention of a teenager palestinian activist. Supporters of ahead tammy may have been marching in the occupied west bank demanding her release she was detained last month when the video of her slapping Israeli Soldiers went viral she could face prison if convicted. More than thirty people have been killed in eastern guta on the edge of the syrian capital over the last three days as Government Forces backed by russia intensify their attacks president Bashar Al Assads troops have also battling opposition fighters in the Northern Province of italy as they tend to take over a major base under twenty thousand people have fled from rebel held it live in the past three weeks alone. Those were the top stories but stay with us next up is al jazeera while the holy one five. Zero zero zero zero. Indeed there were over forty charges as i recall but primarily it was Material Support to terrorism and would you say they use a social welfare activity to win the hearts and minds of the Palestinian People exactly what they do well i think this Material Support statute is a guilt by Association Statute i couldnt google you and find out anything about your work background is that correct ive googled this morning i thought im in finance and. I will lead with the had a limb your corn and that with a watery them im ready to do most of the Land Foundation Justice Department is alleging that the holy Land Foundation is supporting terrorism because theyre working with zakat committees but we have a long list of projects funded by the Us Government who worked with stock up committees and we have the documentation to show this and there was not a single charge that the where the jury was unanimous so the case was over we won but soon after that the judge asked the prosecutor will retry the case and he says yes your honor i believe that we will. The second trial was held in two thousand and eight and then the second trial was in front of judge so lease a different judge from the first trial and in fact he led in even more evidence for the government than the first judge. Big difference in the two trials is i think probably the government put on probably too much evidence in overwhelmed jewry. With too much evidence our remember in general the evidence was presented probably in a more. Simple and logical way based more on the timeline there were even more burning buses during the second trial there was a horrible video of people stamping on the American Flag that had nothing to do with holy land except that there were four main differences. The four differences were first the government presented testimony from a man named ahmed true bhaji who was a cooperate with the government mr schorr bashi had gotten into trouble embezzling from somebody unrelated to holy land but he had briefly worked with the holy land so the government went to him and said if you testify against holy land well give you a break on your other case and he testified that everyone in power stein knew that holy land was connected to hamas even though hed never been to the west bank and all of his testimony was based on newspaper articles or talking to people a second piece of evidence was from mr Robert Bryant who came from the Treasury Department mr mcbride was permitted to testify in the second trial that it didnt matter whether and if he was placed on the list or not that under circumstances that he described contributing money to an organization like that could nonetheless of violate the law and internal support the government was permitted as its third piece of us wouldnt to call an Expert Witness name stephen side who had been on the national Security Council who is a well known expert in the area of the middle east and mr simon was allowed to testify that the designation of hamas as a terrorist organization helped the United States in various ways including being able to station troops in the mideast and also avoiding another nine eleven style attack on the United States there was another. Piece of evidence it was actually three documents that the israelis had seized from arafats compound. They i think two of them were handwritten nobody knew where they came from who wrote them one of them said something about holy land being connected to hamas we had objected to those documents in the first trial because they were so clearly unreliable their genesis their the. The basis for the information in the movie was so poorly said the judge had excluded them in the second trial the judge allowed them in the. Part of mark. I want off. Camera. And i have. The problem we had was that the government hired an expert in the second trial and the government was able to keep jurors who we didnt want and they tried to pick a jury that had the least amount of education we got rid of a lot of jurors and did it i think is a really good job but they ended up with a jury that was much more favorable to the government my names my feet out of the closet. And as i look at all these beautiful faces for my dear brothers a sisters i want to tell you im extremely proud of you for being here showing support for me and for brother still carry on for brother of a son and for all those people who are seeking justice this is a point that a lot in english so done critique my grammar wire my brain and bug my tongue. Tab my thoughts if you.

C. Folks. Are here you say giving cloggs to naked orphans was across all childrens of those who died of war not and it can all go dark.

And none of them was an almost kid i beg your pardon youre not just the only this is without the side i did vote vote last across i am calling. It im going to vote for the just that will do for just witnessed. The government as though it was a tool. For the clear. I learned that there had been a previous trial which indian contrary and that and that now these were these men were being retried so so i began to read and about the holy Land Foundation i began to read about palestine and the history of palestine and i learned a lot that i did not know that every day at noon i started to go into the trials we began from project fear we organized an ongoing. Protest which was that which was also feeding that feeding the poor just outside the Federal Building we were giving the same symbol its ok to feed poor people its not a crime to feet to feed people who organized buses to come and bring people to the trials and we wanted to feel the court room with people and and in that that was successful they were the courtroom was usually feel with people. Canada would kill american a million in the senate deal of cut the had to rule on effect to what folks at iowa was alfie had to give his union could be any mystery as to how can i was ready for calm and jimmy not in the midst of the rod and kindness of that crowd the fabric i was sending in no. Love lost but ill sit in the car and fetch. Calista home because the one by one. Guilty guilty guilty guilty. My heart fell to the floor and shot a. Bus out all of those sort of to me can be sure to have handcuffs i mean im here for him out really what are you doing at the moment im going to the club with more terrorists or theyre like a flight threat that iran had thought for how the command a few men had can we took and all the effort your men actually bought of. You were their own and had the money. For me how could johnny my love of them five hundred of them in front of him up with. Comes into. The who dont know how to hold autonomy from even fifteen seconds. A little older all of us. And so jennifer have said. Two thousand and. And by then the show had some some just who are multiple and focus on me. Moderate on them kind of you know i had a man who knew quite a sensitive the Economic Outlook at hickam high on Model City Center which instead of commissars arsenal click on the comic when the content of the advice and you know my dad is not going to basically serve more than sixty five or sixty five years more than a life sentence in prison like the minute your mind cant accept that on senses in day my father got up walked to the podium and said the following. Nothing in my life was as satisfactory as knowing that i could sign a check. It was the only evidence you have used against me but that was the most enjoyable part of my life knowing that i could sign a check to assist the thousands of palestinian families who got displaced after their homes were demolished nothing was more satisfactory to me than providing scholarships to hundreds of palestinian students who had high average grades despite their circumstance i said to the judge. That a man named al mari how can that be that someone who pleads guilty and admits to being a sleeper agent for al qaeda is going to get ten years and the government wants whatever they wanted which was enormous amount for Shukri Abu Bakar who committed no Violent Crimes who was convicted of providing charity to palestinian children perhaps as far as the government was concerned the wrong children and the judges response as i recall was something to the effect of well mr all mary just did one thing and your client has been a lifelong supporter of hamas. And i was just stunned ive been a lawyer for an american criminal lawyer for almost thirty years and it was the most unjust decision ive ever seen its like Somebody Just came up to you and does hit you in the stomach as hard as they could it took all the air out you felt empty you felt. The. A sense of injustice had just occurred. We appealed mr law shes connection to the court of appeals in new orleans we had risen number of issues we challenge the anonymous witness for example we challenge the admission of the gruesome photographs we challenge a good bit of the governments evidence and most of it the court of appeals that was ok. But it found for errors goes for errors for the admission of mr mcbrien testimony the admission of mr simons testimony the admission of mr schorr bhajis testimony and the admission of those documents that the Israeli Soldiers had found in the wreckage of the Palestinian Authority headquarters in ramallah that the court of appeals decision was well yes all four of those pieces of evidence which didnt come in in the first trial which obviously made a big difference because in the second trial everyone was convicted it was all harmless. And thats an outrageous decision and i believe a political decision that we were just not going to win. Bad. Losses in one cannot submit you know and one had to say in the south africa im a doctor and a woman says then. Comes out and issue of the fact that if one. By the end of the craft i mean it doesnt want to. Come on and if a cut in my need for cut. Cut that had been. Done and it was the shot of my father is a family man he loved to gather everyone for breakfast and for luncheon for dinner so every weekend he made sure to get gather the family and beautiful palestinian brunch now after he left we all eat supper at.
