Protest: Stand with Somali Youth Entrapped by the FBI

May 31, 2016 @ 5:00 pm

As the defense rests its case and the jury begins to deliberate, join us outside the federal courthouse to show support for three young men and their families 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 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, racism and government repression. Hear from family members of these young men and community leaders speaking out against this unjust trial!
