Protest: Stand with Somali Youth Entrapped by the FBI

May 26, 2016 @ 5:00 pm

Join us outside the federal courthouse after another day of the trial of local Muslim youth from the Somali community entrapped by the FBI. 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. Join us to stand with these young men’s families and denounce the Dept. of Justice’s entrapment, surveillance, and terror baiting of the Somali community. This case is part of an ongoing organized attack against the East African community facing rising levels of Islamophobia, xenophobia, and racism and government repression. Hear from family members of these young men and community leaders speaking out against this unjust trial!
