Campaign to save a life

From Freedom's Zone, we are receiving this alert:

Up to 21 prosecution lawyers called for the death penalty against Mohammed Al-Asadi, the Editor-in-Chief of the Yemen Observer, and the permanent closure of the newspaper, during Al-Asadi’s trial on Wednesday. As incredible as it sounds, nonetheless, the lawyers, commissioned by Sheik Abdul-Majid Zindani, the Chairman of Islah Shura Council and led by Mohammed Al-Shawish, also called for the confiscation of all the newspaper’s property and assets, and for financial compensation to be paid to be the Muslim’s ‘Finance House’, which last existed during the time of the Caliphs, 1200 years ago.

Poul Højlund, at PIA CAUSA, is urging that bloggers and readers CALL ALL PAPERS AND POLITICIANS TO GO AGAINST THIS DEFAMATION OF MANKIND. Help save the life of a man who is about to be executed by Islamists because he believes in freedom.

This is Mohammed Al-Asadi:

Lunatics. Why don't they prosecute the Danish immams? They've done more to publicize these cartoons, that I'm so very found of, than has this unfortunate soul.
