Podcast Ep 28: Demanding justice for the Holy Land Five

On Episode 28 of The Electronic Intifada Podcast, we present excerpts of a recent discussion about the years-long struggle of five imprisoned Palestinian American men who led the Holy Land Foundation, a Texas-based charity. This panel commemorates more than ten years since the unjust prosecution of The Holy Land Five: Shukri Abu Baker, Mohammad El-Mezain, Ghassan Elashi, Mufid Abdulqader, and Abdulrahman Odeh, who are each serving between 15 and 65 years in federal penitentiaries. Hosted by Miko Peled, author of the 2018 book “Injustice: The Holy Land Foundation Five” the discussion features daughters of the Holy Land Five, in addition to Leena Al-Arian, Executive Director of the Coalition for Civil Freedoms and the daughter of Dr. Sami Al- Arian, another Palestinian-American who was deported on trumped up charges.
