More on that:
AMC applauds Representative Bonior on his tireless dedication and effort in the case of Dr. Al-Najjar and others who have been victims of this heinous policy. Dr. Yahya Basha, AMC President, accompanied Mr. Bonior on a visit to Dr. Al-Najjar on February 22,1999 making him the first policy maker to meet with the secret evidence victim. He teamed up with Representative Tom Campbell (R-CA) to introduce and diligently fight to pass H.R. 2121, the Secret Evidence Repeal Act of 1999 and subsequently launched a campaign against the use of secret evidence.
The fruition of the campaign for Dr. Al-Najjar's release came as a result of the dedication of Dr. Sami Al-Arian, of the Tampa Bay Coalition for Peace and Justice and Mazen's brother-in-law; The National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom (NCPPF); and his legal team led Prof. David Cole of Georgetown University, Nancy Chang of the Center for Constitutional Rights, Joe Hohenstein of the Nationalities Service Center, and Martin Schwartz of Tampa who have worked so diligently for his release.
"Thank God Almighty! Mazen is free at last!" said Aly Abuzaakouk, AMC Executive Director. "We thank the members of our community for their relentless grassroots efforts against secret evidence. It is now time to work on freeing the remainder of the victims being held under its premise and toward ensuring that the Secret Evidence Repeal Act is passed immediately in the 107th Congress. President Elect Bush has spoken out against the practice and we must work to ensure that he keeps his promise to sign the bill."
