[Reader-list] His name is Ezra Nawi

[Shuddhabrata Sengupta]

Dear All,

This is to inform you about an interesting person who needs all the  
help he can get.   His name is Ezra Naw (I have adapted this message  
from material available online connected to a petition being  
circulated to help secure his liberty).

Ezra Nawi is an Israeli human rights activist who faces jail time for  
trying to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of  
Palestinian Bedouins in the South Hebron region. To watch a dramatic  
video of the incident and his arrest, and to write a letter demanding  
his freedom, go to http://www.freeEzra.org .

Nawi's friends ---- have launched a campaign to generate tens of  
thousands of letters to Israeli embassies all over the world before  
he is due to be sentenced in July.

Ezra Nawi is a Jewish Israeli of Iraqi descent who speaks fluent  
Arabic. He is a gay man in his fifties and a plumber by trade. He is  
loved by those with little power, to whom he dedicates his life, and  
hated by the settlers who occupy land in the West Bank with the tacit  
support of powerful factions in Israel, the Israeli military and police.

Please consider taking a minute to send a letter to the Israeli  
Consulate on behalf of Ezra Nawi. Sign the letter and learn more  
about Ezra Nawi at http://freeEzra.org .
