Free and open to the public.

TUESDAY: October 7th, 2pm & 7pm, Onondaga Community College, 4585 West Seneca Turnpike, Syracuse. In Storer Auditorium, Ferrante Hall. (campus map available here It’s a 4 MB pdf.)

Thanks to my friend Lisa Goodlin the website has safely made it’s transition to the new server, so I’m free to post again.

Katherine

There will be no new posts on this website for a few days because the site is being moved to a new server. I would not be able to have this website without the help of Paul Melnikow who set it up and showed me how to post, and has been there when I needed help. And Lisa Goodlin who has also been there these last 4 years and is now taking over as my main technical advisor. I am very grateful to both of them and all the other friends who help me with my technical difficulties.

I will be in NYC attending the oral arguments for Dr. Dhafir’s appeal on August 28, 2008.

* A press release for the appeal can be found here.
* More about the appeal process can be found here.
* More about how to navigate this site can be found here.

Katherine

The judges are, Guido Calabresi, Sonia Sotomayor, and Barrington Parker.

People attending the hearing are advised that court commences at 10 am sharp in the Ceremonial courtroom on the 9th Floor, at 500 Pearl St, in lower Manhattan. It would be best to be there at 9.40 am at the latest.

About The Appeal
Press Release

Because it has been so difficult to get media coverage for this case, I set up this shop where people can buy t-shirts, bumper stickers, pins, and tote bags that will help us let people know about this website and, therefore, about Dr. Dhafir’s case.

[Please note, in order to make the merchandise as cheap as possible, there are no longer any profits that go to the appeal fund from the shop. Helping us advertise the site is every bit as important as donating to the appeal fund. Please feel free to do both!]

Thank you,
Katherine

It’s Dr. Dhafir’s 60th birthday on August 25th, 2008, three days before his appeal hearing in NYC. To send him birthday wishes and thank him for his humanitarian work, write to him at:
