For too long the human rights community has grudgingly acknowledged Muslim prisoners of conscience, as embarrassing.

It should be understood that these people epitomise what prisoners of conscience are. Momina Khan, the project co-ordinator addressed the practical aspects of the project and encouraged people to participate in campaigns in whatever way they could. Muhammad Al-Massari, the well-known Saudi dissident and IHRC researcher Sultana Tafadar addressed the discrepancies between the Islamic rights of the accused and current spate of anti-terrorist laws, military tribunals and internment laws that the West has currently brought in. Most poignant however, were the first hand accounts of persecution from Turkish, Nigerian, Bosnian and South African activists.

A Long Journey of Faith: The Testimony of Two Kandhamal Prisoners

Aydin Koral, a Turkish journalist recounted his own experience of facing possible prison sentences of up to years for articles criticising the burgeoning Israeli-Turkish alliance. Chairing the third session was Merve Kavacki, former Istanbul representative of the Virtue Party who had been denied the right to take her oath after refusing to remove her hijab.

Also shown was video footage from Turkey regarding events since the imposition of the hijab ban by the Turkish government. A paper from Dr. Shuaibu Musa was also read out detailing the types of persecution the Islamic movement in Nigeria faced particularly under the Abacha regime. He felt relatively safe there. I began researching his case and his options, then returned to the prison a few weeks later.

His shoulders were still sore. There are so many homicides, suicides and overdose deaths that the state had lost track of how many people died in its prisons and could not even provide the Justice Department with accurate numbers, according to the report. These horrific conditions were the backdrop to my conversation with Mr.

He knew if he was resentenced to life with parole, a better sentence, he would be transferred to a lower-security prison, which meant housing in an open dorm as opposed to cells. Those can be the most chaotic housing units, where stabbings and homicides have been common.

It is both absurd and tragic that the promise of a better sentence meant a year-old man who has not received a prison disciplinary infraction in 15 years was calculating how to stay safe now that the possibility of freedom was before him.

Focus on Chinese Prisoners of Conscience

Remember all prisoners, and bring the guilty to repentance and amendment of life according to your will, and give them hope for their future. When any are held unjustly, bring them release; forgive us, and teach us to improve our justice.

And since what we do for those in prison, O Lord, we do for you, constrain us to improve their lot.
