[Occupymendocino] petition to end persecution of an American=Palestinian woman by the feds

[ELLEN ROSSER]

*A Palestinian woman, Rasmieh Odeh, was arrested at her home this morning,
Oct. 22*, by agents of the Department of Homeland Security.

She is charged with immigration fraud. Allegedly, in her application for
citizenship, she didn’t mention that she was arrested in Palestine *45
years ago* by an Israeli military court that detains Palestinians without
charge - a court that has over 200 children in prison today and does not
recognize the rights of Palestinians to due process.

Friends,



As many of you have heard, a dear friend and essential member of the Arab
and Palestinian-American community in Chicago was arrested and indicted on
immigration fraud charges yesterday.  This is part and parcel of wider
efforts to intimidate and silence the Palestine solidarity movement.
 Palestine Solidarity Legal Support and the Center for Constitutional
Rights prepared this statement in solidarity with Rasmea.
