The FreeFahad Campaign

Organizing against oppression!

Twenty-Eight year old Syed (Fahad)Hashmi currently sits in a cell in the special housing unit of NYC's Metropolitan Facility awaiting trial. Syed was extradited to the U.S from the U.K as a result of an indictment filed in May 2006 on charges that he conspired to provide support to a terror group overseas. There was a detention hearing in New York and the government stated Syed allowed his acquaintance Junaid Babar to stay at Syed's apartment in the UK. It is claimed that Junaid had items destined for Afghanistan and all Syed did, according to the U.S Government, was allow Junaid to stay a couple of days, allow Junaid to use Syed's cell phone, and help Junaid carry his luggage to the cab.
