Empire Files: Life Sentences for Charity Work - Free the 5!

The Holy Land Foundation Five are Palestinian political prisoners sentenced up to upwards of 65 years in US prison for providing aid to refugees.

Although no proof exists for the organization providing support for terrorism, it was targeted in the Bush administration's post-9/11 dragnet, setting an alarming precedent for activists in the US. Abby Martin sits down with an expert on the case, Miko Peled, to learn more about this little-known case.

Miko Peled is an Israeli-born activist for Palestinian rights, and the son of a famous Israeli general. He is the author of "The General’s Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine" and "Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five."

Great job. Abby Martin. True unfettered journalism. Eventually she will be given the proper platform where the populous can be given news that is not covered by the mainstream. It's so unreasonable that a journalist of such intellectualism is not on national tv. If she keeps grinding she will eventually be heard by millions. People want the truth.

Abby keeps amazing me in her humanity and justice for all . She is one of the very few that didn't sell her soul and she easily could have.
God bless you and keep up the real journalism

[HandsHealNow]
