Rudolph Holton Case Summary
FADP's Initial Press Release
*****
First, congratulations to Florida Capital Collateral Regional Counsel
attorneys Linda McDermott, Martin McClain, and their team of investigators
and associates! THANK YOU!
Now it is time to get out of the courts and into the streets - it is time
for YOU to TAKE ACTION!
BRING AN INNOCENT MAN HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!
When he is freed, Rudolph Holton will become the ***25th*** person
exonerated from Florida's death row.
It has been more than 17 years since Rudolph Holton was arrested for a
crime he did not commit. Just last week he marked his 16th year living on
Florida's death row. On Wednesday (December 18, 2002), the Florida Supreme
Court upheld a lower court order granting Mr. Holton a new trial, however
all of the state's witnesses have either died, recanted their testimony or
been discredited by new witnesses. No physical evidence links Mr. Holton to
the murder. The original trial prosecutor, Joe Episcopo, has expressed
doubts about this case and has suggested that the charges against Mr.
Holton be dropped.
State prosecutors have 15 days to ask for a rehearing, but it is clear that
this case is over. There is no reason for Mr. Holton to spend another
night on Florida's death row.
TAKE ACTION!
Call Hillsborough County (FL) States Attorney Mark Ober and DEMAND that
Rudolph Holton be freed immediately.
"There is no reason to continue holding Rudolph Holton. I ask you to
ensure that Mr. Holton is home in time for Christmas."
Mark Ober's offices are open from 8:30am to 5pm, EST:
Courthouse Annex: (813) 272-5400
Plant City Branch: (813) 757-3890
Call both locations. Call early and often. Thank you!

Today's AP Story () is below:
FLORIDA:
Court upholds new trial for death row inmate
Death row inmate Rudolph Holton deserves a new trial for the 1986 murder
of a Tampa girl, the state Supreme Court ruled.
In a brief order Wednesday, Florida's high court upheld an order by
Circuit Judge Daniel Perry in November 2001 ordering a new trial for
Holton, who marked his 16th year on death row last week.
Holton, 49, was convicted of raping and killing Katrina Graddy, a
17-year-old prostitute, and then setting her on fire in an abandoned drug
house.
About 10 days before the murder, Graddy had told police another man had
raped her. But Holton's defense attorney had never been given that police
report.
Martin McClain, a New York attorney representing Holton, said there were
other problems with the case. For instance, a hair in Graddy's mouth that
prosecutors said came from Holton was later tested and found to be her
own. Also, jailhouse witnesses recanted their testimony against Holton.
McClain said there was no case to bring against Holton again. The state
has 15 days to ask for a rehearing. The state attorney's office was
closed for the day and didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.
The 6-0 order was unanimous with the exception of Justice Peggy Quince,
who was recused.
The high court said Perry's order was "fully supported by competent,
substantial evidence."
In January, death row inmate Juan Melendez walked off Florida's death row
after living nearly 18 years with a death sentence for a 1983 murder.
During his years in prison, Melendez lost several rounds of appeals and
had his death sentence upheld by the Florida Supreme Court before the
transcript of another man's confession to the murder was discovered in
1999.

******
SUMMARY OF RUDOLPH HOLTON'S CASE
Mr. Holton was convicted and sentenced to death based on untruthful
testimony and undisclosed rewards given to State witnesses for testimony.
The State's case has fallen apart in postconviction. There is not a shred
of evidence linking Mr. Holton to Katrina Graddy's murder. In fact,
evidence has developed which indicates that an individual named "Pine"
actually committed the murder.
On the evening of June 23, 1986, Katrina Graddy and her friend Pam went to
Nebraska Avenue in order to buy drugs and turn tricks. At around midnight,
Katrina entered the car of a black male. Pam did not see Katrina again that
night. In the early morning hours of June 24, 1986, Katrina Graddy's body
was found in an abandoned house on Scott Street. Katrina had been sexually
assaulted and her attacker had set the house on fire.
In June, 1986, Rudolph Holton was a drug addict who stole in order to
support his habit. His record included several convictions for burglary and
drug possession and his only conviction for violence occurred when he
fought with another individual over some change in a dice game. Within
twenty-four hours of the time the police found Katrina's body, Rudolph
Holton was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and related charges.
The police took a statement from Johnny Newsome. He indicated that he had
seen Mr. Holton near the crime scene on the night of the murder. Mr.
Newsome also said that he saw Mr. Holton with Ms. Graddy. Also, on the
morning that Katrina's body was found, Carl Schenck, a white man who
traveled to Tampa with a hitchhiker he picked up the night before in St.
Petersburg, was asleep in his car across the street from the vacant house.
Mr. Schenck told the police that Mr. Holton resembled the individual he
dropped off in the area; he identified Mr. Holton by his "shaving bumps"
and "frizzy hair". The police also obtained a jailhouse informant, Flemnie
Birkins, who claimed that Mr. Holton confessed the crime to him in jail.
His testimony did not match any of the evidence presented in the case.
Additionally, Mr. Birkins testified that he received minor consideration
for the testimony he provided. He said that he had faced a
three-and-one-half to four-and-one-half year sentence for the crimes for
which he was charged, but he was getting a sentence of three years. Thus,
the jury heard that the jailhouse informant was receiving a six month
benefit for his testimony.
Flemnie Birkins testified in April of 2001 that he lied at Mr. Holton's
trial in order to get prosecutorial consideration in charges that were then
pending against him. Mr. Birkins revealed that Mr. Holton never confessed
to him. He made up his story entirely and lied about the consideration he
was receiving for his testimony. He was in fact facing nine to twelve years
in prison on his charges. At Mr. Birkins' sentencing after Mr. Holton's
trial, the State had claimed that they "erred" when calculating the
snitch's sentence. In exchange for a three year sentence (ultimately, the
State requested that the sentencing judge depart from the recommended
guidelines because of the jailhouse informant's cooperation in the Holton
case and the snitch was sentenced to five years of probation, the first two
years to be served on community control, the first year to be served with
specified residence in the Hillsborough County Jail), Mr. Birkins provided
untruthful testimony against Mr. Holton.
Johnny Newsome testified in April of 2001 that he lied at Mr. Holton's
trial. He said he was afraid that if he didn't point the finger at someone
else the police may try to lay the blame on him.
Carl Schenck testified in April of 2001 that a photograph of the individual
known as "Pine" more closely resembled the hitchhiker he picked up and
dropped off in front of the scene of the murder.
At trial, the State had presented physical evidence which purportedly
linked Mr. Holton to the crime scene. The existence of a cigarette pack
with Mr. Holton's fingerprint on it came as no surprise due to the fact
that Mr. Holton, like many other individuals entered the vacant house in
order to use drugs.
Finally, the State presented an FBI agent to testify that three hairs which
were found on the victim's mouth could have been Mr. Holton's body hair and
that Mr. Holton could not be excluded from being the source of the hairs.
The prosecutor, Joe Episcopo, argued in his closing that the hair could not
have been from the victim.
The hair evidence which the State argued linked Mr. Holton to the crime has
been analyzed using mitochondrial DNA and excludes Mr. Holton as the
depositor of the hair. The DNA matched the victim.
At trial, Mr. Holton presented an alibi. Solodon Clemmons testified that on
the night of June 23, 1986, Mr. Holton arrived at his rooming house around
10:00 p.m. and went to bed. Mr. Clemmons told the jury that Mr. Holton did
not leave during the night and was in bed at 6:00 a.m. the next morning.
Also, Mr. Holton's trial attorney wanted to present the testimony of the
victim's friend, Pam. Even though Pam was properly subpoenaed to testify,
she failed to appear at the trial. Mr. Holton's trial attorney requested a
continuance so that she could secure Pam's presence, but the trial judge
denied the request. The judge allowed the jury to hear part of Pam's
deposition -- but only the part about Katrina's departing with a man, who
was not Mr. Holton, and never returning. Pam also had knowledge and
testified in her deposition about a rape that occurred in the vacant house
about a week before the murder. Katrina identified "Pine," a drug dealer
from the neighborhood, as the rapist.
In April of 2001, Mr. Holton presented a police report that was not
disclosed to him until March of 2001. This report reflected a Katrina Grant
with Katrina Graddy's birthdate, living at Katrina Graddy's address had in
fact reported that she had been raped by an individual she knew as "Pine"
on June 13, 1986. The police determined who "Pine" was and arrested him. He
gave a false name, Donald Smith. His real name was David Pierson. Two
complaints were filled out by the police; one for rape and one for
obstruction by giving a false name. However, Katrina decided to not
prosecute and the charges were dropped.
In April of 2001, Donald Smith testified that about ten days before her
death, Katrina Graddy came to him and told him that "Pine" had given his
name to the police when he was arrested for raping her. They went to
confront "Pine" together. A nasty argument occurred and "Pine" made threats
toward Katrina. The day of the homicide, Mr. Smith noticed the house where
the body was found was on fire. As he headed in that direction, he saw
"Pine" who told him someone had strangled Katrina. When Mr. Smith got to
the house, he asked the police who had strangled Katrina. He was
immediately questioned about this because no one at the time should have
known that there was a woman strangled inside the burning house. Mr. Smith
did not disclose the basis for his knowledge, although his name and address
were taken for follow up. An undisclosed police report confirms this
occurrence.
Mr. Smith testified in 2001 that several months later he had a conversation
with *Pine* who confessed that he had killed Katrina.
The trial prosecutor, Joe Episcopo, was in a newspaper story in 2001 after
the evidentiary hearing expressing his view that in light of the new
evidence a new trial should be granted and the charges dropped.
When the trial court granted a new trial in November of 2001, the State
appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. On December 18, 2002, the Florida
Supreme Court affirmed the order granting Mr. Holton a new trial. After 16
years on Florida's death row, Mr. Holton is now back at the beginning
awaiting trial from a crime he did not commit.

ANOTHER FLORIDA DEATH ROW INMATE TO WALK FREE?
COULD THIS BE #25?
Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP) has learned that
the Florida Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a trial court's order granting
Rudolph Holton a new trial. According to Mr. Holton's attorneys, the State
no longer has enough viable evidence upon which to retry him.
"The only thing new in this case is the name of the man who has spent years
on Florida's death row for a crime he did not commit," said Abe Bonowitz,
director of Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. "The problems
with Mr. Holtons case are standard fare here in Florida: A jailhouse snitch
who benefited from his testimony. Police who manufacture evidence. And DNA
testing on evidence used to convict Mr. Holton now excludes him. It's all
old news. How many of these cases must be exposed before Floridians
understand that the death penalty system simply cannot be trusted?"
Further information on this case will be forthcoming.
Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP) again demands an
immediate "time-out" on executions until the public can be guaranteed that
Florida's criminal justice system is both fair and accurate.
FADP reminds the public that the State of Florida will give Mr. Holton a
paltry $100 in cash when they free him after more than 17 years of
incarceration. In order to assist Mr. Holton and others like him, FADP has
established an "Exonerated Prisoner Relief Fund." Details are available at
or by calling 800-973-6548.

Summary:Anlässlich der "Jornada de Desobediencia Global", des "internationalen
Tages des Ungehorsams", veranstaltete eine Gruppe von argentinischen
KünstlerInnen eine Installation im Zentrum von Wien, nur unweit von der
Argentinischen Botschaft entfernt. Kurzzeitig wurde mit Kochtopfklängen für
Stimmung gesorgt.

Viele Leute, die am Freitag, den 20. September 2002 über den Wiener
Stephansplatz
gingen, wunderten sich über Semmeln, die da am Boden lagen. Das besondere
waren jedoch nicht die Semmeln selbst, sondern die Nägel und Fähnchen mit
kurzen
Texten, die aus den Backwaren herausragten. Die AktivistInnen, die von
Attac und
einigen cacerolaz@s Unterstützung fanden, legten diese Semmeln mitten auf den
Stock im Eisen Platz (der direkt an den Stephansplatz grenzt), vor eine
sich dort
befindenden Bank Austria und die vor ums Eck gelegenen Argentinischen Botschaft
(Golschmiedgasse 2).
Weitere Semmeln, ein großer Leib Brot und Informationen über die aktuelle
Situation in Argentinien und Lateinamerika befanden sich am bereitgestellten
"la Mesa Argentina" (der argentinische Tisch), der mit der argentinischen
Flagge
"gedeckt" war, um das Land zu repräsentieren. Der Tisch gilt für die
KünstlerInnen
"als Ort, an dem das Brot geteilt wird, die Menschen zusammenkommen,
diskutieren
und Ideen austauschen. Wir glauben, dass der Tisch in Argentinien, wie in
Lateinamerika generell, dieser Bedeutung beraubt ist. Zwischen den
Bedürfnissen
der Menschen und den Handlungen der politischen Führung herrscht ein Abgrund,
entstanden aus der Korruption und der vorbehaltlosen Auslieferung unserer
Reichtümer in die Hände der multinationalen Akteure, wie im Internationalen
Währungsfonds, der Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten und anderen. Deshalb ist
das Brot unserers Tisches gespickt mit Nägeln, als Symbol für die
Unmöglichkeit
dieses Brot zu erreichen, ohne dabei die eigene Würde zu beugen" (aus einem
Flugblatt der KünstlerInnen, das bei der Aktion verteilt wurde)
Die Semmeln mit Nägeln symbolisieren nicht nur die Nahrung, die zwar vorhanden
ist, aber nicht allen Menschen im ausreichenden Maße zur Verfügung steht,
sondern
auch die sozialen Probleme allgemein. Folgende kurze Botschaften fanden sich
auf Schildern: 24% der ArgentinierInnen leiden Hunger, Auslandsverschuldung:
150 Milliarden Dollar, Schuldendienst mehr als doppelt so hoch wie
Gesundheitsausgaben, 54 % der ArgentinierInnen unter der Armutsgrenze, über
20% Arbeitslose und keinerlei Arbeitslosenunterstützung, 35% der älteren
Bevölkerung ohne jegliches Einkommen, 20% der Kinder unterernährt, in den
ärmsten Provinzen sogar 60%, Schuldendienst: mehr als doppelt so hoch wie
die Bildungsausgaben, IWF, Kindersterblichkeit 18,4 je 1000 Kinder, der Preis
für Heizöl hat sich seit Juni verdreifacht, über 50% der Bevölkerung ohne
Zugang
zu adequater Gesundheitsversorgung, Auslandsverschuldung: 5 mal so hoch wie
jährliche Exporterlöse.
Ebenfalls auf ein paar der Schilder war "Attac" zu lesen. Es ging zwar hervor,
dass sich Attac selbst nicht für die Misere in Argentinien verantwortlich
macht,
aber ein wenig befremdend wirkte die Werbung im Rahmen der Aktion schon.
Jedenfalls verteilte Attac auch noch Flugblätter, auf denen sie auf die
Situation
in Argentinien eingingen und sich gegen die Einrichtung der Amerikanischen
Freihandelszone (FTAA bzw ALCA) äußerten.
(Mehr Infos von Attac unter: http://www.attac-austria.org - einen
interessanten
Überblicksartikel zum FTAA gibts unter http://www.gipfelsturm.net/ftaa.htm)
Im Aufruf zur Aktion wurde um die Unterstützung durch cacerolaz@s und
kältefeste TangotänzerInnen gebeten. Einige waren auch gekommen, um
gemeinsam mit den Leuten in Argentinien dieser Tage auf die sozialen Probleme
hinzuweisen und für eine gerechte Welt einzutreten. Während anfangs ein
einsamer cacerolazo für nur wenig Stimmung sorgen konnte, waren es dann
pünktlich um 14:00 Uhr neun cazerolaz@s, die für Stimmung sorgten wenn
auch nur für fünf Minuten.
Die PasantInnen reagierten überraschenderweise recht interessiert, wenngleich
auch nicht alle gleich durchschauten, worum es ging. Ein typischer
Mehrheitsösi
konnte es sich jedenfalls nicht verkneifen, seine rassistischen vorurteile
loszuwerden und darauf hinzuweisen, dass sein Land (er meinte damit
Österreich, Anm.) ja das tollste überhaupt sei… Der Großteil der sich
angesprochen fühlenden reagierte aber durchaus positiv und ließ sich zm Teil
auf längere Diskussionen ein, die aber aufgrund der anhaltenden Kälte meist
nur kurz ausfielen.
Alles in allem eine gelungene Aktion, wenngleich die Beteiligung von noch mehr
cazerolaz@s wünschenswert wäre. Dazu gibt es jedenfalls die Gelegenheit. Die
Aktion wird am Samstag, 21.12.2002 von 12:00 bis 15:00 Uhr am Stock im
Eisenplatz (U1 Stephansplatz) fortgesetzt. Warme Kleidung, Tee, Töpfe und
Pfannen nicht vergessen...

11 RAWNEWS: France in AFRICA
von: "RAWNEWS" <rawnews@btopenworld.com>
==================================================
Cote d'Ivoire Deployment Might Be Test Case for France
Stratfor
Summary
France is expanding its military intervention in Cote d'Ivoire, where a rebel
uprising that began in September continues. The mission will set a
precedent by
reviving French military operations in the region and opening the door for
future
campaigns meant to protect West African oil production.
Analysis
France has deployed a company from the 2nd Foreign Paratroopers Regiment to
war-torn Cote d'Ivoire where they will join 1,000 troops already stationed
in the former
French colony. The newest contingent represents the first wave of an expanded
deployment that could include up to 500 more soldiers, South Africa's
News24.com
reports.
The forces are intended to help preserve stability and protect the 20,000
French
citizens living in the West African state. Rebels seized control of Bouake in
mid-September and continue to hold the northern half of the country, while
other
rebel factions have emerged in the west.
The campaign in Cote d'Ivoire reverses a decade-long trend of limited French
involvement in francophone African countries, and it sets the stage for
renewed
French military intervention throughout the region. It also gives Paris an
opportunity
to strengthen its military presence in the Gulf of Guinea -- possibly one
of the world's
most lucrative regions for the development of deepwater oil reserves.
France has maintained a military presence in Africa since the end of the
colonial
period and has thousands of troops stationed in Chad, Djibouti, Gabon, Senegal
and Cote d'Ivoire. But they are there ostensibly to provide protection only
for French
residents and to serve in multinational peacekeeping missions, according to
the
French Defense Ministry. During the last decade, France has declined to
intervene
in internal conflicts in francophone countries, providing military advisers
instead.
The reduction of French involvement in Africa follows a decline in France's
strategic
interests in the continent. For instance, despite the countless coup
attempts against
Central African Republic President Ange-Felix Patasse, French troops have not
been sent to maintain stability in the former French colony.
But the case of Cote d'Ivoire is markedly different. In addition to the
economic value
of Paris' ties with the world's largest cocoa producer, the country's port
at Abidjan
is one of the largest in the region and one of francophone Africa's most
modern
and well developed. More important, France has a growing interest in exerting
martial influence over the stability of the entire region and protecting
what is
expected to become a strategic supply of offshore oil reserves.
Paris has been involved in the fighting since the rebel uprising in Cote
d'Ivoire began
Sept. 18. French officials probably are worried that if the situation does
not improve,
instability might reach levels seen in Sierra Leone. Moreover, the
government may
hope to counterbalance likely support for rebels by neighboring Liberia and
Burkino
Faso. In the end, France hopes to make it clear to everyone that it will
not tolerate
civil war in Cote d'Ivoire, while at the same time using it as a test case
for reviving
French military intervention in the region -- and in the long term,
building up its
own naval base in Abidjan.

France getting mired in war?
By Vaiju Naravane
-This is the most important direct French involvement on the African continent

-French soldiers have been given orders to "shoot at sight'' anyone attempting
to "impede their mission'' which ostensibly is to protect the 20,000 French
nationals who live in this troubled former French colony.

vehicles and planes for support to ground forces.

Paris Dec. 17. Is France slowly getting sucked into a reluctant war in the
Ivory
Coast? France has sent over 2000 soldiers to its former colony in a bid to
shore
up the Government of the besieged President, Laurent Gbagbo, ever since a
civil war began in parts of this West African state almost three months ago.
This is the most important direct French involvement on the African continent
since the operation in Rwanda in 1994 and in Chad in the early `80s and there
are fears that France might get mired in a long and sticky conflict.
The Ivory Coast, which dominates Africa's cocoa coast is of tremendous
strategic interest to France. French officials indicate Paris is involved
because
there is a "risk of the conflict spreading to other African nations, ravaging
western Africa.''
French soldiers have been given orders to "shoot at sight'' anyone attempting
to "impede their mission'' which ostensibly is to protect the 20,000 French
nationals who live in this troubled former French colony. The French soldiers
however have become the de facto frontline separating government-held territory
from rebel strongholds. French units operating in Ivory Coast are using combat
helicopters, armoured vehicles and planes for support to ground forces.
Rebel leaders warned the French that any more moves to prop up the President
will make French soldiers their targets. France says its soldiers are there as
part of a defence pact signed with the Ivorian authorities and to protect its
nationals in its former colony. France has attempted to start up a
multilateral
dialogue in the Togolese capital Lome for the resolution of the conflict that
includes several African leaders. But negotiations are at a standstill.
There has
been a furious anti-French campaign in the Ivorian press as well as several
demonstrations against the French presence on Ivorian soil. The situation on
the ground is confused with three principal rebel factions formed on ethnic
lines, coming together and splitting apart, sometimes approving the French
presence, at others violently reacting to it.
France however is worried about the situation getting out of hand. When the
rebellion first broke out the government of Mr. Gbagbo declared that
neighbouring Burkina Faso and Liberia had armed and aided the rebels. A
large Bourkinabe population lives and works in the relatively better off Ivory
Coast. However, it has now become clear that there is more to this conflict
than simply "foreign hands'' at work. With the deployment of 500 extra
troops over the week-end, Paris has entered a new phase of "activism'', no
longer content to be a neutral observer or peacekeeper.

>> Hundreds held in US round-up of immigrants <<
From Elaine Monaghan in Washington
HUNDREDS of men of Middle Eastern descent have been detained in the United
States, many on minor visa violations, after they complied with an
anti-terrorism
law ordering them to register with immigration authorities.
Witnesses described scenes of chaos and distress as men were separated from
their families and jailed for overstaying a visa term, a common event in
this nation
of immigrants.
"What s next? Concentration camps?" read one banner on Wednesday as
thousands of Iranian Americans protested in Los Angeles; most of the
detentions
occurred in California.
Authorities are stretched by new rules and fears they could unwittingly
contribute
to terrorist attacks. The September 11 terrorists were Middle Eastern men who
entered the country legally. District offices lack resources to enforce the
special
registration for males 16 or over who come from a long list of countries
seen by
the US Government as terrorist havens. By far the largest number of
detentions,
estimated by witnesses as exceeding 500, were in Los Angeles, San Diego and
Orange County in California, an area with many Iranian exiles.
One lawyer said that he saw Los Angeles authorities running out of handcuffs as
they rounded up men trying to comply with a deadline on Monday for males from
Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria. Men from another 15 countries including
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have to register by January 10.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association reported scattered detentions
elsewhere. Authorities in Washington DC turned men away and told them to
come back after the deadline because they could not handle the numbers.
Legal sources said they believed that the problem in southern California was
because a new acting immigration chief was terrified of seeing his career
ruined if he released the wrong person.
"I saw so many people in tears on Monday . . . What s happening in America
is outrageous and the world needs to know", said Angelo Paparelli, a corporate
immigration lawyer, who said that he was helping men to register pro bono
because he was outraged.
The new rules are especially offensive to Pakistanis, whose President has
been praised by the US for waging war against terrorism. An embassy
spokesman said that Pakistanis had been singled out on entering America
even before their country was added to the special registration list.
Ultimately this is going to spread and our people will be affected, an embassy
spokesman said. We understand security is paramount . . . but a user-friendly
approach needs to be adopted.
Crystal Williams, of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said that
many of those detained believed they were legal because they had filed
applications for permanent status a year ago and had work permits. Chaos is
the best way to describe the situation, she said.

> Mass arrests of Muslims in LA <
Thursday,
19 December, 2002,
BBC News
Families protested against the detention of relatives US immigration officials
in Southern California have detained hundreds of Iranians and other Muslim
men who turned up to register under residence laws brought in as part of
the anti-terror drive.
Reports say between 500 and 700 men were arrested in and around Los
Angeles after they complied with an order to register by 16 December.
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is refusing to say how many
people were arrested but said detainees were being held for suspected visa
violations and other offences.
The arrests sparked angry protests in Los Angeles by thousands of Iranian-
Americans waving banners which read "What's next? Concentration camps?"
and "Free our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons".
Official radio in Iran also reported the arrests and the protests, which it
said
were mounted by families of the detainees who converged on Los Angeles.
> Deadline
Under the new US immigration rules, all male immigrants aged 16 and over
from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria had to register with authorities by
Monday unless they had been naturalised as citizens.
Immigrants from other mainly Muslim states have been set later deadlines
for registration.
Community groups said men had been arrested in Los Angeles and nearby
Orange County as well as San Diego.
California is home to about 600,000 Iranians who have been living in exile
since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
One of the Iranian-American demonstrators in Los Angeles, Ali Bozorgmehr,
told the French news agency AFP that his community was being targeted
unjustly.
"All Iranians that live in America are hard-working people... They love this
country and all... are against terrorism," he said.
> 'Shocking'
Ramona Ripston, executive director of the Southern California chapter of
the American Civil Liberties Union, said the arrests were reminiscent of
the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
"I think it is shocking what is happening," she said.
"We are getting a lot of telephone calls from people. We are hearing that
people went down wanting to co-operate and then they were detained."
Islamic community leaders said many detainees had been living, working
and paying taxes in the US for up to a decade and had families there.
"Terrorists most likely wouldn't come to the INS to register," said Sabiha
Khan
of the Southern California chapter of the Council on American Islamic
Relations.
She said the detainees were "being treated as criminals, and that really goes
against American ideals of fairness, and justice and democracy".

> Hundreds Are Detained After Visits to INS <
Megan Garvey, Martha Groves and Henry Weinstein
Los Angeles Times
2002-12-19
Hundreds of men and boys from Middle Eastern countries were arrested by
federal immigration officials in Southern California this week when they
complied
with orders to appear at INS offices for a special registration program.
The arrests drew thousands of people to demonstrate Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Immigration and Naturalization Service spokesmen refused Wednesday to say
how many people the agency had detained, what the specific charges were or how
many were still being held. But officials speaking anonymously said they
would not
dispute estimates by lawyers for detainees that the number across Southern
California was 500 to 700. In Los Angeles, up to one-fourth of those who
showed
up to register were jailed, lawyers said.
The number of people arrested in this region appears to have been considerably
larger than elsewhere in the country, perhaps because of the size of the
Southland's
Iranian population. Monday's registration deadline applied to males 16 and
older
from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria. Men from 13 other nations, mostly
in the
Mideast and North Africa, are required to register next month.
Many of those arrested, according to their lawyers, had already applied for
green cards and, in some instances, had interviews scheduled in the near
future.
Although they had overstayed their visas, attorneys argue, their clients had
already taken steps to remedy the situation and were following the regulations
closely.
"These are the people who've voluntarily gone" to the INS, said Mike S. Manesh
of the Iranian American Lawyers Assn. "If they had anything to do with
terrorism,
they wouldn't have gone."
Immigration officials acknowledged Wednesday that many of those taken into
custody this week have status-adjustment applications pending that have not
yet been acted on.
"The vast majority of people who are coming forward to register are
currently in
legal immigration status," said local INS spokeswoman Virginia Kice. "The
people
we have taken into custody ... are people whose non-immigrant visas have
expired."
The large number of Iranians among the detainees has angered many in the
area's Iranian communities, who organized a demonstration Wednesday at the
federal building in Westwood.
At the rally, which police officials estimated drew about 3,000 protesters
at its
peak, signs bore such sentiments as "What Next? Concentration Camps?"
and "Detain Terrorists Not Innocent Immigrants."
The arrests have generated widespread publicity, mostly unfavorable, in the
Middle East, said Khaled Dawoud, a correspondent for Al Ahram, one of
Egypt's largest dailies. He questioned State Department official Charlotte
Beers about the detentions Wednesday after a presentation she made at the
National Press Club in Washington. Egyptians are not included in the
registration requirement.
Beers, undersecretary of State for public diplomacy and public affairs, was
presenting examples of a U.S. outreach campaign for the Middle East,
which includes images of Muslims leading happy lives here. Dawoud
asked how that image squared with the "humiliating" arrests in recent days.
"I don't think there is any question that the change in visa policy is going to
be seen by some as difficult and, indeed what was the word you used?
humiliating," Beers said. But, she added, President Bush has said repeatedly
that he considers "his No. 1 ... job to be the protection of the American
people."
Relatives and lawyers of those arrested locally challenge that rationale for
the latest round of detentions.
One attorney, who said he saw a 16-year-old pulled from the arms of his
crying mother, called it madness to believe that the registration requirements
would catch terrorists.
"His mother is 6 1/2 months pregnant. They told the mother he is never going
to come home she is losing her mind," said attorney Soheila Jonoubi, who
spent Wednesday amid the chaos of the downtown INS office attempting to
determine the status of her clients.
Jonoubi said that the mother has permanent residence status and that her
husband, the boy's stepfather, is a U.S. citizen. The teenager came to the
country in July on a student visa and was on track to gain permanent
residence, the lawyer said.
Many objected to the treatment of those who showed up for the registration.
INS ads on local Persian radio stations and in other ethnic media led many
to expect a routine procedure. Instead, the registration quickly became the
subject of fear as word spread that large numbers of men were being arrested.
Lawyers reported crowded cells with some clients forced to rest standing up,
some shackled and moved to other locations in the night, frigid conditions in
jail cells all for men with no known criminal histories.
Shawn Sedaghat, a Sherman Oaks attorney, said he and his partner, Michelle
Taheripour, represent more than 40 people who voluntarily went to register and
were detained.
Some, he said, were hosed down with cold water before finding places to
sleep on the concrete floors of cells.
Lucas Guttentag, who heads the West Coast office of the American Civil
Liberties Union's immigrant rights project, fears the wave of arrests is "a
prelude
to much more widespread arrests and deportations."
"The secrecy gives rise to obvious concerns about what the INS is doing and
whether people's rights are being respected and whether the problems that
arose in the aftermath of 9/11 are being repeated now," he said.
Many at Wednesday's protest said they took the day off work to join the
rally, because they were shocked by the treatment.
"I came to this country over 40 years ago and got drafted in the Army, and
I thought if I die it's for a good cause, defending freedom, democracy and
the Constitution," said George Hassan, 65, from the San Fernando Valley.
"Oppressed people come here because of that democracy, that freedom,
that Constitution. Now our president has apparently allowed the INS
vigilantes to step outside the Constitution."
Ramona Ripston, executive director of the ACLU of Southern California,
called the detentions doubly disturbing because "a lot of the Iranians are
Jews who fled Iran because of persecution, and now they are undergoing
similar persecution here.... This is just terrible."
Attorney Ban Al-Wardi, who saw 14 of her 20 clients arrested when she
went with them to the registration, said that although everyone understands
the need to protect the nation against terrorist attacks, the government's
recent action went too far.
"All of our fundamental civil rights have been violated by these actions,"
she said. "I don't know how far this is going to go before people start
speaking up. This is a very dangerous precedent we are setting. What's to
stop Americans from being treated like this when they travel overseas?"

> America arrests 700 Muslim immigrants <
Owen Bowcott
Friday December 20, 2002
The Guardian
As many as 700 Middle Eastern immigrants, mainly Iranians, have been detained
by US officials in southern California after they turned up to register in
accordance
with the requirements of new residency laws.
The arrests sparked protests by thousand of Muslims congregating at the
offices
of the immigration and naturalisation service (INS). They were waving placards
which read "What's next? Concentration camps?", "Detain Terrorists not
Innocent
Immigrants", and "Free our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons".
Radio stations in Iran and across the Middle East took a dim view of the
arrests,
which the INS insisted were merely a matter of detaining those who had
overstayed their time on tourist or short working visas.
US immigration rules introduced after the September 11 attacks require all
male
immigrants aged 16 or over from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria to
register with
the authorities by last Monday unless they have been naturalised as citizens.
There is a substantial Iranian community in southern California.
A second deadline orders male immigrants from Afghanistan, Lebanon, Eritrea,
North Korea, Somalia, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen to register
with the INS by January 10 next year.
Ramona Ripston, of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the arrests were
reminiscent of the internment of Japanese-Americans during the second world
war. "I think it is shocking what is happening," she told the BBC. "We are
hearing that people went down wanting to cooperate and then they were
detained."
Those arrested spent the night in overcrowded cells; some had been shackled.
· Pakistani police said a leading Islamic militant suspected of involvement
in the
murder of the American reporter Daniel Pearl may have blown himself up while
making bombs in the southern port city of Karachi yesterday.

Nein zur EU/EU-Osterweiterung/Kopenhagen
>> EU-Gipfel in Kopenhagen: Osterweiterung beschlossen,
>> Transitlösung gescheitert.
Für acht osteuropäische Länder, sowie die Mittelmeerinseln Malta und Zypern
wurde in Kopenhagen der Beitritt zur Europäischen Union im Jahr 2004
weitgehend fixiert, es fehlt nur noch die Ratifizierung des Vertrages durch
Mitglieder- und Kandidatenländer. Die Medien schreiben von einem "historischen
Gipfel", Maria Rauch-Kallat freut sich über das "Ende von Jalta", der
Grundlage
der Teilung Europas nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die Grenze der Europäischen
Union hat sich ein paar hundert Kilometer nach Osten verschoben.
Ein langjähriger Prozess der Westintegration wird 2004 in einigen
osteuropäischen
Ländern abgeschlossen werden. Diese Entwicklung hat kaum einen Stein auf
dem anderen gelassen, brachte Arbeitslosigkeit, mehr Reiche, mehr Arme.
Zerschlug einen eigenständigen Wirtschaftsraum, der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg
eine beachtliche Industrialisierung erlaubt hatte, und ordnete Osteuropa
wieder
dem westeuropäischen Zentralraum unter. So hat sich Ungarn zur verlängerten
Werkbank von Weltmarktkonzernen entwickelt, Autoteile für Deutschland, statt
eigenen "Ikarus" Bussen. Die Folge aus dem Ruin heimischer Produktion ist in
allen osteuropäischen Ländern eine negative Handelsbilanz und damit die
Abhängigkeit von weiteren westlichen Investitionen. Soziale und nationale
Widerstände sind dabei vorprogrammiert - gut, dass sich die EU eine schnelle
Eingreiftruppe zulegt. Letztendlich beseitigt die Osterweiterung nicht die
Teilung Europas, sondern verlagert sie nur nach Osten. Zwischen Polen und
Weißrussland etwa, werden keine Grenzen abgebaut, sondern im Gegenteil
neue aufgezogen, regionale Wirtschaftskreisläufe dabei zerschlagen.
Konkret fixiert wurde in Kopenhagen die Höhe der Zahlungen an die
osteuropäischen Bauern, die "Erweiterungskosten". Der Ruin eines Großteils
der polnischen oder tschechischen Landwirtschaft ist dabei beschlossene
Sache. Zehn Jahre lang müssen diese in einem völlig geöffneten Markt gegen
hochsubventionierten Agrarfabriken konkurrieren, ohne Unterstützungszahlungen
in ähnlicher Höhe zu erhalten: Bei dem als "polnischer Agrarkompromiss"
gefeierten Verhandlungsergebnis bekommen polnische Bauern Direktzahlungen
in der Höhe von nur 60 Prozent der normalen Agrarförderung, andere
osteuropäische Bauern müssen sich Anfangs mit nur 30 Prozent begnügen.
In Kopenhagen konnte man auch beobachten, wie sich das Dogma des freien
Warenverkehrs über die Vernunft hinwegsetzte. Im Dienste der internationalen
Frächterlobby gibt es bis heute keine Nachfolgeregelung für den Transitvertrag
mit Österreich. Möglicherweise wird schon nächstes Jahr jede Beschränkung
des LKW-Transits durch die engen Alpentäler fallen.
Kopenhagen war tatsächlich ein "historischer Gipfel". Er hat einmal mehr
gezeigt, dass die Europäische Union ein aggressives Projekt der totalen
Verwertung von ganzen Volkswirtschaften, oder auch einzelnen Alpentälern,
im Dienste der Profitmaximierung ist. Und der Profit von Wenigen darf dann
als "großes Friedensprojekt" bezeichnet werden.
> Europäische Zusammenarbeit statt EU!
Es werden also erhebliche Widersprüche in der Union aufgebaut. Eines der
großen Risiken wird daher sein, dass sich nationalistisches oder sogar
faschistisches Ressentiment breit macht, wenn in den mitteleuropäischen
Ländern die Menschen merken, dass die Armut zunimmt und sie nichts in
Brüssel zu melden haben. Die demokratische Bewegung gegen die EU muss
deshalb dafür sorgen, dass dieses Gefühl, verraten worden zu sein, nicht von
rechten Kräften ausgebeutet werden kann.
Unsere Alternative muss eine wirkliche europäische Zusammenarbeit sein
statt dieser EU, in der die Interessen des Kapitals an erster Stelle stehen
und die mit anderen Konkurrenten um die Vorherrschaft in der Welt kämpft,
wofür inzwischen auch militärische Mittel geschaffen werden.
