I regret that I have been unable to write for what seems to be nearly 3 weeks. I have been in various villages throughout the Qalqilia district in the West Bank and finding an internet connection has been difficult.

Activists Demand the Release of Ansar Mahmood, An end to Racial Scapegoating

Dozens of activists seeking the release of Ansar Mahmood and other detainees rounded up in the so called “war on terrorism” rallied in front of the INS Federal Detention Facility in Batavia, NY Saturday afternoon. An ad hoc group consisting of Rochester peace activists, students, workers and youth organized the Rally. Mahmood’s case

Rally to Free Ansar Mahmood, A Victim of the War on Terrorism

Ansar Mahmood has turned 25 and 26 in the INS Detention Center in Batavia. He was a legal, valid green-card holding Pakistani immigrant of the US. He settled in Hudson, NY, working 13-hour shifts as a Domino's pizza delivery boy, so he could send extra money back home to his family in Islamabad, Pakistan. His father was sick and they needed the extra money to pay for medicine.
