Call for Action on
Wednesday 8 NOVEMBER 1.00 p.m.
Amsterdam, Prinsengracht Court House
Appeal of the Schiphol "arsonist"
"There must be a scapegoat, while Verdonk keeps out of range"
A year on and Ahmed Isa Al-Jabail is still in preventive custody for
alleged intentional arson, while the maximum sentence for such an offence
is eight months!
Reconstruction of the incident by the Van Vollenhoven team points in a
completely different direction and even excludes intent altogether: Ahmed
was woken by the alarm only to find himself on fire. Most likely, he
dropped his insufficiently extinguished cigarette butt on the foot of his
bed instead of on the floor before he fell asleep.
Ahmed Isa is being made into a scapegoat, while being subjected to inhuman
treatment. He has been exposed to light 24-7 and is being deprived of
medical or psychological care.
His lawyer, Eduard Damman, argued in vain for his release at the Haarlem
lawcourt.
We see Ahmed primarily as a victim.
Survivors of the Schiphol inferno have pledged their support and signed a
petition for Ahemed?s release. They will support his cause on the steps of
the Prinsengracht Court House on Wednesday.
Join us there, and bring an ashtray as a symbol of protest!
--------- letter from the survivors --------
Honourable Members of the Court, Mr Attorney-General,
I, the undersigned, was being held at Schiphol East Detention Centre in
the night of 26-27 October, when a devastating fire broke out.
As a victim of the blaze, I wish to pledge my sympathy and support for my
fellow-victim Ahmed Al-Jaballi. In my honest opinion, Mr Al-Jabali is
wrongfully being accused of intentional arson.
I regard Ahmed as one of the victims of the fire, and appeal to the Court
to consider my support for Al-Jaballi in the decision whether to extend
Ahmend?s preventive custody.
I sincerely feel that it would be a rank injustice to prolong Mr Jabali's
preventive custody and appeal to the Court to end this situation
forthwith.
As a victim of the blaze, I am of the opinion that my request should carry
some weight with regard to the Court?s decision.
Yours sincerely,
Name
Cell No.

Ik hoorde straks op de radio dat die man door de rechter onmiddelijk in vrijheid is gesteld, kan iemand dit bevestigen? (bijv. diegene die oproepen tot actie, lijkt me wel zosympathiek om ook wat follow-up te geven, b.v. dank).

Jaja, als de staat bedacht heeft dat je niet vrij mag zijn, vinden ze altijd wel een stok:
Verdachte Schipholbrand in vreemdelingendetentie
 http://www.ad.nl/binnenland/article787881.ece
AMSTERDAM - Het gerechtshof in Amsterdam heeft bepaald dat de man die wordt verdacht van brandstichting in het cellencomplex op Schiphol-Oost vorig jaar onmiddellijk in vrijheid moet worden gesteld. De 24-jarige Achmed Al-J. uit Libië komt echter niet op vrije voeten, omdat hij illegaal is. (...)
| | vrij maar toch niet vrij | jk - 08.11.2006 23:20
Ahmed blijft niet meer in voorarrest vanwege de brand, heeft het hof besloten. Hij is nu echter weer in vreemdelingenbewaring geplaatst. Meer, zoals waar hij nu zit, weet ik op dit moment niet.
