THE GLOBAL RESEARCH NEWS HOUR MONDAY, MARCH 16, 2009
GUEST? Hughes represents the best of citizen activism. She is a Scottish national who has lived in the US since 1988 and maintains the web site www.dhafirtrial.net.
In 2004 - 2005, she attended Dr. Rafil Dhafir's entire 17-week trial as an ACLU court watcher. He was convicted on 59 or 60 counts and sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for his "crime of compassion" - for using his own funds and what he could raise through his Help the Needy charity to provide essential to life aid to Iraqis under punitive sanctions from 1990 - 2003.
The latest on his case and the plight of political prisoners in America will be discussed .
