Al-GHUSSEIN STRONGLY CONDEMN TERROR THREAT ON EMIRATES

Update 18 November 2008.

The campaign continues. At times it’s hard but we do feel the support of many friends colleagues and people has been an enormous help to our moral. The tireless work of many has been deeply appreciated for without them we would be lost.
This has not been an easy campaign and on many many occasions hugely frustrating. But we strongly feel and are committed in bringing justice to Jaweed and in the future we hope to be in a position where we will take up other cases of miscarriage of justice.
We are still trying to engage with Abu Dhabi and the Palestinian Authority and to have a constructive closure.

We have a new site being built which will include current affairs, archive material, videos and radio broadcasts.

Update 17 June 2008.

Janis Hetherington can confirm that she spoke to Simon Pearce Director of Strategic Communication, the Executive Affairs Authority of Abu Dhabi to condemn the recent terrorist threat to the Emirates. She confirmed that Jaweed Al Ghussein and his family strongly deplore all acts of terrorism and wishes the people of the Emirates, their Rulers and the International Community living there safety from any act of aggression wherever it comes from.
The Al–Ghussein family do not support anyone or organization that takes the law in its own hands or targets innocent civilians. Our aim has always been to ensure that the rule of law is upheld and we will continue to ask Abu Dhabi to uphold our rights and to respect the rule of law.
Our thoughts are now with the Emirates and we hope that this appalling terrorist threat passes without incidence.
