Important Update: Support Michael Williams in Jail

For standing up to an anti-Muslim attack, Michael Williams is now serving a 90-day sentence at Rikers Island in New York City. Unless an appellate court grants bail pending appeal, his projected release date is October 6.

See this video news update: http://www.presstv.com/detail/2012/08/11/255640/us-muslim-jailed-for-selfdefense/

As previously reported, Michael’s unjust felony conviction and sentence reflects escalating state repression against social justice activists, opponents of racism and defenders of civil liberties.
