User:Borofkin/Friend of asylum seeker acuses DIMIA of harrassment/Notes

The following email was sent from Jamal Daoud to the RACNSW public mailing list. An archive is available here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RACNSW/


 * ''Hi Everyone
 * ''After the media highlight of the plight of the palestinian refugee who tried to commit suicide on Wednesday, I was harrased by the minister's office through third party to stop talking to the media about this issue. Mohamed was harrased for speaking to SBS radio- arabic program and appearantly was threatened of bad consequences on his case if he will do this again or if I will do it.
 * ''It is the time you all put a pressure on this fascict government, who appearantly does not believe in free speech nor in the importance of the media. Please write to the minister asking her why someone must spend 5 years behind bars for no reason with committing no crime, except of believing that Australia is a democracy, a signatory of Geneva Convention of 1951 to protect the human rights of the refugees.
 * ''As Mohamed said in his interview with SBS "why should I spend 5 years behind bars? even criminal who killed someone will not have such harsh sentence".
 * ''Please act now by sparing 2 minutes to send a short email to the minister to support Mohamed Ali to gain freedom.
 * ''The minister's email is : minister@immi.gov.au
 * ''Thanks for your support.
 * ''Jamalb Daoud
