JUSTICE FOR SHOLOM
Sholom Rubashkin is being denied proper religious accommodation in prison, as his state trial for child labor violations begins, according to the Des Moines Register.
After Rubashkin and his attorneys complained that he was being denied his yarmulke and religious garments, Judge Nathan Callahan said Rubashkin does not have to be present at the trial, and it may proceed without him. And, he said this:
“I’m not trying to be disrespectful of anybody’s religious traditions or beliefs,” Judge Callahan said. “But I’m not derailing this proceeding because of his choice.”
SHOLOM RUBASHKIN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN SEEKING JUSTICE AND PRACTICING HIS FAITH!
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR SHOLOM RUBASHKIN:
- Read the article in the Des Moines Register: http://bit.ly/b3bdnx
- Comment in support of Sholom Rubashkin. Tell Judge Callahan than Sholom Rubashkin should not have to choose between seeking justice and practicing his faith.
- Send the article to family, colleagues and friends, and ask them to read it, comment on it and forward it on.
- Link to the articles on Facebook and Twitter.
- Sign an online petition available at www.justiceforsholom.org
Together, we can show the judge that concerned citizens are watching the case of Sholom Rubashkin, and that he deserves “equal and fair administration of justice under the law.”
Nobody should have to choose between practicing their faith
and defending themselves in a court of law!
