In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Assalamu Alaikum and Eid Mubarak!
Sadly one of our Muslim brothers is spending his fifth Eid-al-Adha in a county jail without ever having been convicted of a crime. In May of 2004 Ali Aladimi was coerced into accepting a plea agreement. On Sept. 14, 2006 in Federal Court here in Cincinnati that bogus Plea deal was set aside. Trial has been set for June 7, 2007.
Despite the fact that Ali is an American citizen with a wife and six children the Court has considered him a “flight risk” in the past. Friends and family who know him are willing to put up cash and property for a bond but chances are slim he will be released. This will make it very difficult for him to prepare a defense. If he is denied bail again he will have been detained for over five years before his trial even begins.
Five Years
No Bail…No Trial...No Sentence…
The bond hearing is set for Friday Jan. 5 at 2:30 p.m.
Potter Stewart U.S. Courthouse
100 East Fifth Street
Cincinnati, Ohio
Please try to attend this hearing and make du’a for Br. Ali that he be released. You can make a difference.
