Today is the 13th anniversary of Dr. Dhafir’s arrest when 150 Muslim families were also interrogated because they had donated to Help the Needy (HTN), the charity that Dr. Dhafir founded.  HTN was sending food and medicine to starving Iraqi civilians during the brutal 13-year-long U.S. and U.K.-sponsored UN embargo on that country. According to UN statistics, 6,000 Iraqi children under the age of five were dying every month from malnutrition and diahorrea.  Dr. Dhafir has paid a heavy price for his crime of compassion; he is currently in his 14th year of a 22-year sentence. Please write to let him know that he is not forgotten and that his humanitarian outreach is appreciated: Rafil Dhafir, #11921-052-Unit GB, Federal Medical Center Devens, PO Box 879, Ayer MA 01432
