Lynne stewart re sentenced to 10 years – u.s. justice sentenced to deathLight Upon Light
Lynne Stewart, a lawyer who represented Omar Abdel Rahman, was re-sentenced to 10 years in prison for releasing one of Rahman's statements to the media. The statement called for negotiations between an Islamic group and the Egyptian government. Stewart was convicted of providing material support to terrorists for releasing this statement. However, the document argues that Stewart was actually being punished for her lifelong advocacy for justice, and that her re-sentencing marks a decline in freedom of expression and a fair judicial process in the U.S. It claims the U.S. is becoming less democratic and more repressive of dissent.
