Post-Verdict Press Conference for Entrapped Somali 3

June 2, 2016 - June 3, 2016

Join us for a press conference immediately after the jury returns a verdict in the case against three young Somali men entrapped by the FBI. We are expecting this to happen anytime on Thursday or Friday of this week. Follow twitter handle @MnEntrappdYouth for updates, and we will post as soon as we know about time on this event page.

Guled Omar, Abdirahman Daud, and Mohamed Farah are beloved sons, students, and breadwinners, now facing poential life sentences for a case manufactured by an informant who was paid $100k. This case is part of an ongoing organized attack against East African and Muslim communities facing rising levels of Islamophobia, xenophobia, racism and government repression. The Dept of Justice and FBI push entrapment, surveillance, and terror baiting of the Somali community to further their agenda.

Follow twitter handles @MnEntrappdYouth and @AntiWarMN for updates on the trial. #MNforSomali3 #StopFBIEntrapment
