Dhafir Case Summary

ACLU Statement on the case.

Listen to a  30-minute interview of Katherine given after Dr. Dhafir was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

The most important thing you can do is write to Dr. Dhafir to let him know he is not forgotten and that his humanitarian work is appreciated:

Rafil A. Dhafir
11921-052
P.O. Box 33
Terre Haute
IN 47808

Please write your name and address on the letter and envelope so that he will know whom the letter is from. Do not address him as “Doctor” as these letters are being returned.  (Because of a continuing problem with his shoulder Dr. Dhafir is not able to answer all the letters he receives, but he greatly appreciates receiving letters and cards and I encourage you to write to him.)
