“Judge Rejects Terror-Finance Suspects’ First Amendment Defense”
by IPT News  •  Jun 22, 2011 at 4:12 pm

SNIPPET: “A federal judge Tuesday refused to dismiss an indictment against two Rochester, Minn. women charged with raising money for  al-Shabaab in Somalia. Judge Michael J. Davis, chief judge for the U.S. District Court of Minnesota, rejected arguments by Amina Farah Ali, 34, and Hawo Mohamed Hassan, 64, that their alleged conduct is protected by the First Amendment, and that the prosecution violated their rights to freedom of religious expression, freedom of association, and due process.”

“Judge reinstates contempt charges for Somali woman who didn’t stand during terror trial”

SNIPPET: “MINNEAPOLIS — A federal judge in Minnesota reinstated contempt charges Tuesday for a Somali woman who cited religious beliefs when she refused to stand for the court during the first two days of her high-profile terrorism trial last year.

Amina Farah Ali was convicted last fall of funneling money to terror group al-Shabab in Somalia, though she claimed she was raising money for charity. She is in a halfway house awaiting sentencing on 13 terror-related counts, including conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.”
