NEW YORK
Attend Lynne Stewart trial
Radical human-rights lawyer Lynne Stewart faces over 40
years in prison at her New York trial on trumped-up charges of
"aiding terrorism" because of her vigorous legal defense of a
Muslim cleric. Her case is really about the government's denial
of due process to Muslims and Arabs in this country, especially
in the repressive political climate of President George W.
Bush's "war on terror." After four months of the trial, Stewart
finally got a chance to begin testifying on Oct. 25. She is
expected to be on the stand for some time.
Court is in session Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m.
until 12:45 p.m., then from 2 p.m. until 4:30. Supporters of
civil liberties are urged to attend.
Location: U.S. District Court, 40 Foley Square (at Center
Street), Courtroom 110.
Closest subways: 4, 5 or 6 to Brooklyn Bridge; A, C or E to
Chambers; 1 or 2 to Franklin; N or R to City Hall.
