Join us to view a live stream update from Rasmea Odeh and her attorney Michael Deutsch about her case.
Rasmea is the 68-year-old Palestinian American community leader who was tortured by the Israelis in 1969. She was targeted for political repression by the U.S. government and put on trial last year. Unable to obtain a fair trial, where she could speak about the torture and rape by the Israeli occupation army, she was convicted.
Outrageously, given the minor charges against her, she was sentenced to 18 months in prison, followed by deportation. She is at home in Chicago preparing for her appeal.

and read Angela Davis’ appeal for Rasmea’s freedom here: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/2014/11/04/angela-davis-free-rasmea-odea/18429933/
After the live stream, we will discuss traveling plans for a joint speaking event with Rasmea Odeh and Angela Davis at the University of Illinois – Chicago on June 28.
