Rasmea Odeh is a 67 year old Palestinian American community leader who was tortured and falsely convicted by an Israeli military court. As a direct result, years later the US government convicted her of Unlawful Procurement of Naturalization, sentenced her to 18 months in prison and imminent deportation. The appeals court heard oral arguments on October 14th and recently granted the appeal!
What does the court of appeals’ decision mean for her case?
What are the implications for her and the Arab and Muslim community?
How can you get involved in her defense and in the defense of all people facing state repression?
