Sami Al-Arian Released After 5.5 Years in Prison
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 :After more than five-and-a-half years behind bars, Palestinian professor and activist, Sami Al-Arian, has been released from prison. Immigration authorities released him on bail on Tuesday after they failed to explain his continued detention pending a trial for refusing to testify before a grand jury about a cluster of Muslim organizations in northern Virginia. But while he is out of prison, Sami Al-Arian is not free. He must remain under house detention at his daughter Laila's residence in Virginia, pending trial. Laila Al-Arian joins us from Virginia.
Guest:
Laila Al-Arian, Sami Al-Arian’s eldest daughter. She is a freelance journalist living in Virginia.
