project
Ezra good Morning to you
merry Christmas.
This is an important story and
an important development tell us
why youre involved and where
this stands
its just such a tragic
development for Dannys family
eighteen years ago. If people can
remember that far back Danny was
a journalist,
he was armed with just a
notebook
that was his only weapon in the
front lines of our war to try to
understand what had happened
after the nine Slash eleven attack,
he had gone to Pakistan
and I had rented a home in
Karachi as a journalist,
I stood outside of our house as
Danny set off for an interview.
There were these amazing parrots
flying overhead and Danny never
returned from that interview.
As most people know, he was
kidnapped and murdered.
Four men convicted in two thousand and two of
his murder are about to be set
free because a judge in Pakistan
has decided to take an activist
agenda to their case.
Dannys family is valiantly
fighting for them to stay in
jail
and they have taken it to the
Supreme Court with literally
tomorrow, the family and friend
of these four men are going to
be standing outside the jail to
beckon, their young men. Now
older men to freedom,
Griff Ezra, how are Daniels
parents taking this?
They are just amazing
deeps, with a phenomenal human
being,
and his parents are testimony to
his greatness.
They are so resilient and
positive.
You know their biggest message
to the government of Pakistan is
that their son is gone
and they want justice for Danny
keeping this man. That was the
mastermind of Dannys murder.
This man, Omar Sheikh behind bars,
is important for the safety of
the country of Pakistan and the
people of Pakistan,
and that is their concern today,
along with finding justice for
their son.
They are humanists
and they are people who believe
in protecting journalists.
You know we face such tragedy
today because of that precedent
that tea partys, I will canner
set in two thousand and two
Griff Ezra, and just before we
run out of time in just second
remaining. What happens next in
the plight to keep these men in
jail?
Well, the? U dot! S government is
asking the pakistani government
to appeal this case to keep the
men in jail
and we hope that will happen,
and in January 5th the
pakistani government and Dannys
own lawyer will go to the
Supreme Court to keep these men
in jail for good.
I hope everyone listening will
support them,
Griff, indeed,
Ezra Nomani. Thank you for.
