Workers World publishes this release from the Rasmea Defense Committee, Nov. 28.
Ever since her unjust conviction on Nov. 10, Rasmea Odeh has been detained in St. Clair County Jail in Port Huron, Michigan. Three days later, her attorneys filed a motion calling on Judge Gershwin Drain to release her pending sentencing scheduled for March 10, 2015.
Since our most recent update, the prosecution has filed a response to the motion, Rasmea’s lawyers have answered that filing, the National Lawyers Guild has filed its own friend of the court brief supporting Rasmea’s freedom, and hundreds of individuals and organizations from across the country have sent letters to the judge urging him to send Rasmea Odeh home.
We expect that Judge Drain will be deciding if Rasmea Odeh will be freed very soon, but are still calling on supporters to keep up the fight to #FreeRasmeaNow!
