Come to a Vigil outside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan every Monday from 6:00-7:00 pm with special guests from Broadway and Off-Broadway.

Fahad Hashmi, a 29 year old Muslim American citizen and Brooklyn College alumnus, has been held in solitary confinement since May 2007 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan. He is charged with two counts of providing material support and two counts of making a contribution of goods or services to Al Qaeda. His case raises concerns about the conditions of his detention and his ability to receive a fair trial. He is subject to a regime of severe deprivation, including 24-hour electronic monitoring, 23-hour lockdown, no access to fresh air, and one hour of daily recreation (when it is given) inside a cage. Physical and mental consequences of prolonged solitary confinement may impair his mental state and ability to testify on his own behalf. Also of concern are threats to First Amendment rights.

Fahad Hashmi's trial has been postponed until January 6.
