Facts in the hands of the appeal.. Of the court's records
All the facts mentioned here are based on evidence derived from the records of the trial.
Introduction by:
Whatever the system, even if an arbitrator was divine, the method has been applied Evade. In the case of the American judicial system, which may not seem apparent defect in which.. However, where large gaps.. Perhaps the most important one is that which governs whether or not they are guilty of the jury .. But the judge is determined by the jury of what he deems the evidence .. The concealment of evidence is governed by them for one reason or another .. For example, the witness may be the case and the judge decides not to bring this matter because it believed that this may affect the view of the jury with "his opinion" that have no impact on his testimony.
Another thing that the jury was not entitled to benefit from the gift of God, but aware of the rule by offering them .. If they had been given that corner of the Jihad of Islam .. The juror is aware that this is not a corner of the five pillars of Islam .. it must be judged through the corner as it .. Because it depends on what he was not that the truth is known.
Introduction
We have allegations were not supported by evidence of the actions intended unsuited to Indonesian maid and abducted by Humaidan Al-Turki family who had lived with them during the four years of the Humaidn Al-Turki study for PhD in linguistics.
Zelekha - Indonesian maid - allegations appeared later after categorically denied during more than 17 interviews with the investigating officers in the various sectors of security.
It is ironic that the woman was threatened by the government in prison for breaching immigration laws before obtained a work permit to work immediately after the allegations.
Even with the serious mistakes have been innocent Humaidan Al-Turki fourteen serious charges, which include: kidnapping and rape.
What we offer here is a brief of the mistakes of the Court contrary to his right to a fair trial resulting in a denial of justice.
The Case
In June 25th accused in Humaidan Al-Turki Sixteen charge:
• first-degree kidnapping
• conspiracy to commit first-degree kidnapping
• rape (12) charge
• criminal acts
• prison error
April 26th added a new charge of theft: is means: the theft of the labor effort of the maid
Trial ended on 12 June 2006, and the opinion was issued on June 3 in the jury acquitted Humaidan Al-Turki all Twelve charged with rape and kidnapping charges.
Instead of condemnation has been fully acquitted on charges less - based on the erroneous direction of the court - the 12 charged with "unlawful sexual behavior" and pre-error and theft.
About the Prosecutor:
Note: Its will be clear from the context that the Prosecutor is also a victim such as Humaidn Al-Turki of the the system of charging everything in mind Islamic not in the West only, but in the world wide because they are - the neocons - departing from a purely religious reasons find Islam is an enemy. Zelekha Is the victim of pressure and the threat that make her between two difficult options , sacrificing herself by going to prison in defense of the truth and the family lived with them for four years .. Or to safe herself by sacrifice the truth.
Zelekha Indonesian maid worked with Humaidn Al-Turki family since the 1/9/2000 until 18/11/2004. 18 November 2004 was arrested for violating immigration laws (the end of her Resident permit), and quoted from a Humaidn Al-Turki family's house, also she well treated by the family during stay with them. Within five months of the transfer and during the 12 different investigations by federal agents, and long interviews with the representative of the consulate Indonesia Zelekha keep on the same story: I was not any allegation of sexual assault.
Her Transition to the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia
Zelekha lived all her life in Indonesia before they get to work with Humaidn Al-Turki family. During the trail she was Twenty-four years old.
In 1999 she was about 16-17 years old and she wants to work in the KSA. She was Know that the Islamic regimes in the KSA is different from Indonesia, agreed to respect, she also knew that there must be 20 years old to qualify for work, she lied to employment office about her old, a relative of her made forgery identity card showing that she 20 year-old, she signed the document is a confirmation of authenticity. when the employment office informed her that she must be thirty years old to get the necessary training to work, she lied to the company once again, this time claiming to the training company that she's 30 years old, Zelekha obtained a document training from the company that she 30 years old, signed the document is a confirmation of authenticity.
In order to travel to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, she must have a passport, her passport showed third incorrect date for her birthday, that the 31-year-old.She has signed the passport with the knowledge that this information is incorrect.
Zelekha made up all this lying and fraud to go to the KSA and get money.
FBI investigations about "terrorism"
After U.S. government lost a series of terrorism cases, because clarity of the charges and the weakness of the evidence, 'the government gets a new approach. They arrested the suspect somebody, in charges not related to terrorism, no permanent immigration or taxes, the media of distorting his drowning as a terrorist, the jury conviction of a terrorist, willing to convict him of anything to protect their homeland. The charges may be simple; juror will not feel pangs of conscience towards because he believed that the defendant deserves more, even if the evidence was weak. when the time limits required there is an application allow to double the time dozens of times if they are connected with terrorism .. But the defense has no right to discuss this matter with the judge refuses that categorically not allowed mentioning the defense during the trail because it is not direct charge.
Since 1995 Humaidan Al-Turki is subject to control for connection with terrorism and that of his relations imposed by the extensive work in the Library Project "Bashir". In 2004 Authorities found an entry point: end of the administration of the maid. government raided the house and arrested Zelekha and Humaidan for contrary residence the government since that moment to make a Zelekha witness against Humaidan.
After one week the arrest, three charges of Humaidan Al-Turki: working by force, servitude, and harboring an alien, then drop the charges later by request of the prosecution.. This confirms the theory of search for any charges without verification.
On the day of her arrest, when the family's home was raided the Humaidan Al-Turki Holywoodian scary manner at 2:00 am of 18 November 2004 with that the case was just end of the administration. Achieved with Zelekha for 4 hours, she arrested and imprisoned, then transferred to the so-called safe house, and she has achieved with more than 12 times, representative of the Indonesian consulate met with Zelekha, and no mention in any of the harassment or rape, but denied it when asked about.
Later she was transported to the house of Michael Fernandez, several days later, on 7 April 2005 met with the authorities ,she said : "Maybe something happened." On the next day, 8April 2005 Zelekha signed the papers to obtain a work permit and got it, although the terrible series of detention after the middle of the night was for violating residency regulations.
After several subsequent interviews with federal agents the story began composed, however, did not specify the dates or days of the allegations, which is important, allegations must be not accepted without it. According the law when some person that he assault another person, he must determine the time and place because the defendant may be able to show that Suspect were somewhere else or even another city. However, without determining the crime the defendant has no this right, in the American system it does not accept and calls: Charge Particulars, even the details were different from the interview to another, her answers about the prosecutions questions during the trial.
Ambiguities and inconsistencies in her allegations
Zelekha allegations are not supported by evidence of inappropriate sexual behavior characterized by much uncertainty and inconsistency sum up some of it here
Without dates: We explained previously the most important dates for the Defense of Rights can't be the same presence in the event the respondent timely manner.
12 charged in the prosecution of sexual assault, 11 of which allegedly occurred between October 23 and November 4 and 24 between the one occurred on October 22, 3 September 23 She said that all the allegations in the second house although that some of these dates they were in the first house.
Zelekha was unable to provide specific dates for these allegations, rather than witnessed - a significant conflict - and its refusal to generalities about the jury their decision "not guilty" to 12 charges of sexual allegation , One of the alleged "sexual intercourse by force." It is ironic that the law has no word "innocent", but guilty or not guilty.
it was known when Zelekha arrived to the U.S. through the records of the Department of Immigration and known when Humaidan Al-Turki family moved from their house to the second house through the lease agreements, the defense asked the prosecutor to determine if the act was the defendant in the first or second home, the period of residence in the first home from the 1\9\2001 until the summer of 2003 , second home from the summer of 2003 until 18\11\2004.
Zelekha testified that all of the attacks was in the second house, but they haven't lived there during the summer because Humaidan Al-Turki family left to visit their family in the KSA that summer, and Humaidan Al-Turki remained to follow up his study,even Zelekha moved to live in the house of a friendly family, it's inappropriate that Humaidan Al-Turki stay with maid in the absence of his family according to the rules of Islam. But one of the allegations was in Oct. 2002, a period of the first house although the allegations that it all took place in the second house .
It is strange that Zelekha in her testimony at the Court spook about only one assault and omitted the rest, she reported Humaidan Al-Turki "Aguea" in 3 November 2004, corresponding to the twenty of Ramadan 1425, which patent jury, where intercourse requires three conditions: proof of its occurrence, the occurrence of the defendant to prove, and prove that the consent of the other party by the time. Otherwise Zelekha did not determined specific days or even months for these specific allegations, just said it occurred in the 11 harassment in second house which also the innocence by the jury.
Inconsistencies in testimony
Zelekha allegations were inconsistent with each other. For example, she gave different scenarios of the events that took place in the prosecution only "intercourse," which had been the day in Ramadan.
She told that Humaidan Al-Turki prevented her to meet Khalid Rashid who spent the summer with his family when the Humaidan Al-Turki family was visiting the kingdom, then returned to say that he was allowed to meet him.
Zelekha has made contradictory statements and other very strange, for example, she reported that in the summer of 2003 couldn't to speak English, so she didnt able to callt 911 to inform them of the attacks that she have them implement as the advice of Khalid Rashid. Also during the trial, she could not read or understand English, so her testimony at the court through an interpreter.
But Mrs. Hernandez, do not speak or read Arabic - who persuaded Zelekha of submission these claims- reported that during the administration of Zelekha in her home in the summer of 2003, they always speak English, and Zelekha read English professionally. Also FBI agent reported that Zelekha was talking English "very well" during an interview "I" and she was well understood.
The Convicted innocent :Humaidan Al-Turki
Several days ago court of Appeal in the State of Colorado of America to reject an appeal in the case of Saudi innocent Humaidan Al-Turki ,he sentenced to imprisonment for 28 years in prison for harassment his Indonesian maid in an attempt to end this tragedy that is still proud of this man is suffering, which began three years ago, who suffered from the defendant and his family chapters of the meetings of this trial in hope that the positive end, but that the elimination of the U.S. have a different opinion and said his word, as they say!! We know what it means to the opinion of the court?? Which they say is not subject to any outside interference!!
In spite of that, it was said that the judges of the Court of Appeal had been determined in the final hearing, held in the sixth month of the Gregorian date for the sentencing within 4 to 6 weeks, but Humaidan Al-Turki lawyers were surprised by the receipt of notice from the court ruling that day, means not exceed 2 weeks, what is raises suspicions about the timing and urgency to make a decision according the Appeals Counsel Hal Hadden. Where is the credibility here?? Why this discrepancy between that two dates?? What if these charges were to foreign in Arabian societies and the we deal with this harsh way, however, just see how the reactions will be to us??, I see hordes of universal human rights come to our societies in order to restore things to normal and achieve justice for the foreign citizen!! As the justice which is now the United Nations in dealing with the crimes of the Zionists against our brothers in Gaza!!
Humaidan Al-Turki – Allah may disengage his detention - I do not consider -and many accused- him innocent, he was arrested and the charges trumped him as everyone knows and wrote that by majority of sensible people that the charges fabricated, One of media broadcast a report on this issue through dialogues with all parties to the accusation that it was clear the charge fabricated, and in my opinion that the punishment was deserved -or worse than- to the American soldiers in Iraq who have been raped Iraqi girl and murdered her and her family before burned them!! Do you remember what the punishment for those criminals was?? Nothing compared to the multiple crimes committed against these innocent, only prison for one of them to for months!!
It is surprising that the charge against the innocent from the beginning shows that there is bias in the reasoning, including what was published recently by Fahad Nassar that hearing final points had seen hot. The focus points of the objection by the defense was the five basic points have affected the trial proceedings and resulted in the conviction and sentence on the accused and the representative of the Defense Humaidan Al-Turki lawyer - Hall Hadden - a review of the most prominent objections to the court in regard to the selection by the jury explained that a juror who admitted that he had been selected will be judged against Humaidan Al-Turki because he is a Muslim and although the court stated its position within the choice of the jury, and this is one of the most important points in the case, it has been selected as two of the jurors had been exposed to natural parents or sexually harassed, which affects the independence and non - affected by their bias against the defendant what had happened to them in the past and this is blot to the credibility of the jury, as the points of objection that the jury had been strongly influence them to divert them from the charges and the main jobs of the trial of the Islam religion, the spokesman for Al-Turki family in this case, Mr. Fahad Nassar, the performance of counsel Defense was outstanding in explaining the main objection during the meeting and he has been monitoring the situation, its known that must be agreed by two out of three of the judges ruling in this case.
according Mr. Fahad Nassar: The Court's response bias with respect to one of the members of the jury saying: (may not be fair with Humaidan Al-Turki because he is a Muslim) did not say: (I would not be fair with him because he is a Muslim) and put the word (perhaps) before he does not make it a viable to challenge the testimony!!
About the duration of the sentence Mr. Fahad Nassar explained that the court found that there is no difference between the death of the fourth degree of conviction and the conviction of second-degree, adding it is the last hope in finding a legal solution to the issue ,also it was not there after the Court of Appeal, which took place in January 22 but increase the current of the Supreme Court of the United States of America, which is somewhat difficult to impossible to obtain a decision in the interest of the cause of Humaidan Al-Turki.
So we are about human suffering of injustice this young man, who will spend 28 years in prison!! Only because there are those who do not like his advocacy, in addition to its commitment to post-graduate studies there!! That the charge was fabricated by means of condemnation and disappeared through it personally that the maid disappeared!! Why?? How?? Is not is said to have been the victim??The question is: Is she alive? Or disposed of as a true witness to these charges??
I wonder while I write this article about the innocent: how long of the significant issues of our youth when it is under the (American Justice)??
I expect to continue those by responsible for this issue, and this innocent student, their judicial systems to exploit gaps there, untouched by the Mafia, sometimes!! If it had been able to form a network of these legal judicial verified real justice, especially as the new American president is coming with a dream of the moral image of America. We are also but on the ground every Muslim is the former regime disappointments!!
The Story of Homaidan Al-Turki
Homaidan Ali Al-Turki immigrated to the United States with his family in 1995, after receiving an academic scholarship from the Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh to pursue a PhD in phonetics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. After successfully earning a master’s degree with honors, Al-Turki was completing a linguistics doctorate program at the University of Colorado, specializing in Arabic intonation and focus prosody. A father of five, Al-Turki and his wife Sarah Al-Khonaizan were active members of Denver's Muslim community. Additionally, Al-Turki operated Al-Basheer Publications and Translations, a well-known Arabic language translation and publishing house based in Aurora, Colorado.
Humaidan had a remarkable social activity among students from Saudi Arabia and Muslims in general , as he had a publishing house in the same state. After the events of September and after atheist security to Muslims to question anyone of them in America, the FBI has offered Turki Humaidan to cooperate with them in some matters relating to that he is being a superior sound technology in this area .However, he rejected that because he did not want to enter himself with the detectives and their opponents, and because he is busy with his family , studies, and his publishing house. Then the Federal Bureau of Investigation threatened him in any way and for any reason, and here the problems started. In November 2004 his house was raided by the security force made up of 30 members and headed directly to the wife of Hamedan especially aiming arms to her head and asking for a place of weapon, although he does not have any weapon and they did not found any weapon or prohibitions. Then they were taken him , his wife, and his an Indonesian housekeeper to jail for violating immigration law and his five children left unattended at home without money because their money and assets had been frozen in bank .So, they were unable to use bank cards to get food .Also their friends and neighbors were preventing to take care of these children .However, these lasted for 15 days were these children without someone takes care of their affairs, making them live on the contributions and assistance under the eyes of the authorities.
After the investigation with the housekeeper for 15 days which reported that the family housekeeper of Humaidan dealings as a member of the family and she is afraid to go to the street without the family, then they were released with bail of 25 thousand dollars and change the status of their residency with the Immigration Office, with reservations on housekeeper investigation. During the court, his wife was brought into the courtroom without a veil covering her head with insulting manner. When this raised the act of protest and Muslims who attended the trial, the authorities agreed to wear a veil that extended to her by one of the attendees.
After the investigation with the housekeeper 12 times for more than six months and the continued pressure which made the housekeeper changed her statement and claimed that the Turki Humaidan sexually assaulted and abused her. Then she got the recognition of 64 thousand dollars in compensation from the Turki family with a valid residence permit ,also with the government promises not to prosecute as violation of immigration regulations. Then Humaidan and his wife were arrested after the housekeeper changed her statement. After that the Court requested this time $ 150 thousand for his wife and $ 400 thousand for Humaidan to ensure a high financial condition, The Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques thankfully paid these money.
After a long trials, the housekeeper decided to withdraw her statements ,but she was threaten by the authorities if she do that .Then after haggling between the judge and defense counsel, the court sentenced his wife to imprison 45 days and 48 hours for community service and compensation for the housekeeper about 9 thousand dollars. However, the Prosecutor General told his wife that she supposed go to hell and not to the prison. Authorities have manacled her and escorted to jail in front of her sons amid their screams and without giving them any opportunity to say goodbye. On August 31, the court sentenced Humaidan to 28 years ,and he will be called after 28 years to see if he has pleaded guilty and admitted his mistake and intended not to return to it , or turn the sentence to all his life.
Who thought that the tragedy ended here is wrong. Humaiadan has sent a letter to his parents, stating that the authorities had shaved his beard and install lightning ring to torture his body ,then he was placed in solitary confinement and transferred to another prison without informing the lawyer or his family and remained in that prison for eight days.
After that the prosecution dropped the suit of against the Federal Court in Humaidan and this legal action in order to weaken the authority of the Minister of Justice ,and to not be able to intervene if the issue has become a federal court because the UK government is putting pressure on high levels to end this issue .However, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Crown Prince are taking care personally of this issue and its developments.
Once he was transferred to the new prison, he started to teach
the prisoners the Arabic language. He also delivered an emotional speech in front of the court which sentenced him to 28 years and this is the text of his word.
In the name of Allah the Merciful
My name is Humaidan alTurki ,Muslim from Saudi Arabia, I'm 38 years old and I have five children ,you have already meet them during this trial.
I am a student in the Ph.D. at the University of linguistic science, "Colorado" ", and I'm doing well in my studies. I am grateful and thankful for this opportunity to address the court. Although I chose not to talk on behalf of myself during the trial, I found the need to make some statements and affidavits in the case of my innocence. When I came to this the country before 14 years, I felt I am lucky. Very lucky that I have the privilege to do a PhD and my family with me, which gave me peace of mind of being on my side instead of being on the other side of the world. Optimistic about a lot, my wife and I, because we had the opportunity to live in a country that practices religious freedom and educational opportunities. We felt that we can secure the livelihood of our family in a natural way just like any other American families while preserving our religious identity and cultural. I went and had become full immersion in the scientific community, and my family and I to do our freedom of religion, and participated in the gatherings of the Muslim community in the "Boulder", "Denver", "Fort Collins", "Greeley"
contributing to the life of the Muslim community and to society as a whole much as possible. Dear judge, I am here not to apologize, because I cannot apologize for something I did not make it and I did not commit crimes. . I say this not for arrogant, but this is the truth. In this country, the reality is difficult, because I am a Muslim, you cannot see or feel about it if you were not Muslim, your civilian advantages are not taken, you can sit on the stage and say what you want , but the fact remains the same and reality does not change. All I can do is to invite all the wise to listen to my words, people who did not take prejudge to me because of ethnic or native.
I ask any wise person .. Ask the wise listen to me. Please listen to me, I want to begin my statement thus: the fairness of the trial, I really want a fair trial. Please, I want a fair trial. I need a clear criminal suit ,because I am human at the end .Why my children ,my family ,and my community be punished because of our religion and our race.??
Why do not we get a fair case? Why we are prosecuted? The Government litigate us for what ?? Judge, the state was investigating me since 1995 and they have not been able to prove anything against me, and this is what I will come back to it later. All that I want is just a fair trial, even though I know that this wish is impossible, and no one would listen to me in this community which is fearful and vindictive against the Muslims. This society does not help, but I hope that one day things would be logical here ,because life always changes.
My sister Zoulikha, I still call her a sister, despite she accused us, but because I know she was forced to do that. The Federal Bureau of (FBI)has forced her for six months to say what they want. Zoulikha was a members of our family and I treated her as I treat my daughters. She ate with my wife and daughters, and she went on vacation with the family. Clothes that she wore liked the clothes of our family . You cannot ask someone in a different religion to be fully American. You cannot ask us to go to a nightclub, we are Muslims, and different, really different. Zoulikha sister's cloth were not punishment as the state claimed , but she was pride of it, and she said that in court more than once . The state has criminalized these basic of Muslims. In fact, this attack on the traditional dress of the Muslims was the main idea of the opening statement (Getting Started) for the plaintiff, because he has consistently expressed to the jury during his allegations that such clothing made sister Zulekha invisible and therefore she was a victim, focusing on the "phobia" of Islam (Islam phobia). You've seen the "mannequin" (puppet show clothing) that they have and its ugliness, and how they kept it in front of the jury, and this is the worst that can be done to the Muslims. As far as I know, my wife ,my children ,all those in my environment ,my community and all who met Zoulikha when she was in our house have looked she was happy because she was living in our house. However , before she was arrested, she did not mentioned that she wants to return to Indonesia, I did not know that she was unhappy with her work, ,her clothing or with the manner of living that she has chosen by herself , or even time that she spent with my family. She has enjoyed a good relationship with me, my wife, and my children. The fact that sister Zulekha after her arrest in migrant detention center, had called me and my family many times to express her fear because she is no longer with us. She was afraid from authorities, because she lied repeatedly about her age. She Also asked us to help her in any way to raise the pressure and allocate any lawyer. Suddenly, she disappeared from the immigration center, no one was able to connect to her , even the lawyers for more less than month or a month and a half. Then , we received a call from her and she was crying and asking for help. We have learned that they kept her in a safe house .The victim does not do so. Victim - of any kind – dose not call the family, which she accused them. But we do not know what happened with her after that, all I know is that her story was changed.
I know that the crime created from nothing. I do not know why sister Zoulikha allowed to change her statement, but I doubt that she accepted what happened because of her fear that the authorities would litigate her .Who have made this issue a personal matter to get the most possible gains, in addition to the promises that she got to be able to stay in the United States if she cooperate with them.
I know that people in authority questioned her repeatedly for 6 months after her arrest as what is proven in court, which made her change her statement and accusing me and my wife about a lot of things that we did not commit, although she did not make any of these charges for any of the specialists.
During the six months when she was talking directly with clients, when they asked her if she was subject to sexual harassment, she said no, she said "no" clearly and without hesitation, as records indicate.
The record of the Federal Office FBI refers to the talks were not recorded by the Bureau (federal) which is the most accurate organization in the United States, which can detect the smallest things according to their claim. They brought people from the Indonesian Consulate to sit with her and convince her to deal with the authorities and all what we could get out of her was a call from the Federal Bureau in midnight , she cried and said :" I lied to them when they asked me about my salary which caused a pain in my stomach." So , she Did not say that she exposed to sexual harassment or any kind of harassment. Many of social workers have met her more than once, as well as the Federal Bureau agents to reach their desired goal.
I do not know why authorities chose to follow me ,although they were investigating me since 1995, as it indicated in records, and now they accused me in state court and the Court of Federal Union about the same charges.
If you look closely at the events in this cases you will note clarity that clients have manipulated this investigation.
Judge, since September 11 which was used in my cases to open the way for jurors to prejudice me as terrorist, Muslims are being targeted by the U.S. authorities which are covered by security ,terrorism ,and through continuous monitoring, audio tapes, and the loss of civil liberty .But all these incompatible with the intention of your predecessors in this country . It is really offensive to justice in the United States if the authorities cannot make a Muslim terrorist, or if someone claims suggests that this person might be a terrorist and the authorities could not do it after that, they (the authorities) will not let him alone, and they will not apologize but they will look for anything to accuse him, and the mobile event which happened before two weeks ago is good example.
Dear judge ,men from the authorities have come to me before these accusations to bargain with the lawsuit to go home, it did not include the charge of sexual harassment or any of these things, but I rejected it .The meeting included: a lawyer, and prosecutor in the (office) Federal, FBI agent," and another man from the immigration office called the client "Peru", which witness this case. He told me the following very loudy, so the lawyer asked him to lower his voice or end his speech,he told me: "You know, if we cannot annihilate from you through the housekeeper case , we will do that from your taxes way, and if we cannot so ,we will find anything, go to home. Just go to your country. " This was exactly the words of that client.
However, clients instead of doing their required duty, they were preoccupied with destructive means to make me guilty by any means available even if they destroy my family.
Dear Judge, that all the accusations were fabricated by the authorities because they were not able to file a terrorist lawsuit against me and simply because I am not a terrorist, and they wanted to get the results regardless of the crime.
Authorities assumed that I am terrorist, because I have Islamic books Publishing house and I am active in my community. They also tried to accuse me about my visa. The client "Peru" called my University on Jul 24 m, or around that period, speaking with the International Bureau to cancel my visa, but the university's response was that Turkey is making good progress in the program of doctor study ,then he said:"Is there a way to overturn him ".
Dear judge, they've followed my house and my family over many years and more than that, they suspended me in "Illinois" because my name is mentioned in the list of terrorist .They also have been issued search warrants and applied it to my right ,the right of my work and my home in a desperate attempt to find proof against me, but I am not a terrorist and I do not back terrorism.
I am a Muslim ,I have lived years of my youth in this country up my children and took them to school. When they trying unsuccessfully to accuse me ,they went to the sister Zoulikha and questioned her for months without being registered any of its words until she tell them what they want perfectly. Clients have made this issue a personal matter.
after this fabricated issue, Sister Zoulikha returned to her senses ,but clients upset to do so. And when she wanted to apologize to us, clients also were unhappy. When she married a Muslim man and started crying and trying to reach the defense team to apologize and end the issue, clients were attended to her home to check the husband. Who enjoy such prosperity in the United States? When a woman marries, authorities come by themselves to make sure that he is suitable husband?!
Clients were Trying to convince her not to do so to the moment when she told the client »Bebek« that she wants to drop all charges, he told her the famous phrase that we hear everywhere which is : "Are you with us or against us?" then she said: "I'm with you." Because she was afraid, and within three weeks, she divorced from her husband because he was standing in the way of what they wanted, because clients did not want anyone stop them from achieving one of their intentions towards me.
Dear judge, sister Zulekha and me are not only people who intimidate on them in this case ,but also there are defense witness, and the claim as well, and a member of the community came to court to support me. These witnesses are members of the Muslim community of immigrants who are subjected to this case. They have been questioned for why they had come to court and support me .They were exposed to the challenge every time when they declared any statement that does not fit with what clients want to hear, they also were asked: "Are you with us or against us?"
Dear judge, any attempt to help me during the trial was always facing by the federal agents. So, one of the elderly members in my community has been questioned in the corner outside the courtroom, and even more so, they have tried to discredit my reputation and spread rumors about me among the people of the community .Since about a week or two weeks, the client "Bebek" went to one of the members of the community threatened her because she writes a letter to this esteemed Court to support me.
Judge, in spite of all these observations and investigations performed by the clients for more than ten years, I could not defend myself because I also be denied access to information about the investigation or consideration of the documents under the pretext of "security concerns".
We should not deceive people anymore on behalf of national security and not to remain silent on such things, because when people are deceived with such excuses, innocent people could go to jail, families could destroy as they destroyed my family and my life.
During the trial, you can also remember that Sister Zoulikha was always said that her gained money was kept safely my wife Sarah, which is not opposed by Sister Zoulikha days.
Dear judge, my wife and I were accused in this Court, in federal court, and in immigration court, if you're in my shoes dear judge with your family and your children, what would you do? If you and your wife accusing and expect a life sentence ?what would you do?!
Please, saved one of us. I've decided with my wife ,and I have been convinced her that it is better to accept the settlement of a crime that she didn’t committee , in order to exonerate herself to stay with these children because we do not want them to become orphans.
All I want is a fair trial and I did not get it in this case you, Judge.
Prosecutors use words such as: the enslavement and engage in trade rights to complete this issue, and in fact that clients are hold Sister Zoulikha and prevented her from receiving money that we want give her.
Judge, this Court has allowed the existence of evidence not related to this issue. They do not know the difference between the Muslim and Saudi Arabia, and all they only know is Islam phobia which is the fear of Muslims that prevails in the United States these days.
There is a juror was sentenced to advance ,although he was asleep more than half the time during the trial, but no one take any action against him despite the lawyers referring to you to do so.
Judge, I have condemned depending in fears and feelings, not on evidence, there is no physical evidence of any kind and this is because, as I said ,it is the wrong time to be a Muslim. These issue does not have real essence. These courts were not for me or for the crime, but a trial of Islam and Muslims. All I wanted, Judge, that I treat like any accused American who have the right to see the protection against civil rights, but I did not have this right.
Dear the judge, once again I will conclude as I started, I want a fair trial. Please, please, I want a fair proceeding, and a jury fair. trial gives me my civil rights instead of make me guilty because of my country.
Homaidan Al-Turki's speech ends
Homaidan Ali Al-Turki immigrated to the United States with his family in 1995, after receiving an academic scholarship from the Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh to pursue a PhD in phonetics from the University of Colorado at Boulder. After successfully earning a master’s degree with honors, Al-Turki was completing a linguistics doctorate program at the University of Colorado, specializing in Arabic intonation and focus prosody. A father of five, Al-Turki and his wife Sarah Al-Khonaizan were active members of Denver's Muslim community. Additionally, Al-Turki operated Al-Basheer Publications and Translations, a well-known Arabic language translation and publishing house based in Aurora, Colorado.
Humaidan had a remarkable social activity among students from Saudi Arabia and Muslims in general , as he had a publishing house in the same state. After the events of September and after atheist security to Muslims to question anyone of them in America, the FBI has offered Turki Humaidan to cooperate with them in some matters relating to that he is being a superior sound technology in this area .However, he rejected that because he did not want to enter himself with the detectives and their opponents, and because he is busy with his family , studies, and his publishing house. Then the Federal Bureau of Investigation threatened him in any way and for any reason, and here the problems started. In November 2004 his house was raided by the security force made up of 30 members and headed directly to the wife of Hamedan especially aiming arms to her head and asking for a place of weapon, although he does not have any weapon and they did not found any weapon or prohibitions. Then they were taken him , his wife, and his an Indonesian housekeeper to jail for violating immigration law and his five children left unattended at home without money because their money and assets had been frozen in bank .So, they were unable to use bank cards to get food .Also their friends and neighbors were preventing to take care of these children .However, these lasted for 15 days were these children without someone takes care of their affairs, making them live on the contributions and assistance under the eyes of the authorities.
After the investigation with the housekeeper for 15 days which reported that the family housekeeper of Humaidan dealings as a member of the family and she is afraid to go to the street without the family, then they were released with bail of 25 thousand dollars and change the status of their residency with the Immigration Office, with reservations on housekeeper investigation. During the court, his wife was brought into the courtroom without a veil covering her head with insulting manner. When this raised the act of protest and Muslims who attended the trial, the authorities agreed to wear a veil that extended to her by one of the attendees.
After the investigation with the housekeeper 12 times for more than six months and the continued pressure which made the housekeeper changed her statement and claimed that the Turki Humaidan sexually assaulted and abused her. Then she got the recognition of 64 thousand dollars in compensation from the Turki family with a valid residence permit ,also with the government promises not to prosecute as violation of immigration regulations. Then Humaidan and his wife were arrested after the housekeeper changed her statement. After that the Court requested this time $ 150 thousand for his wife and $ 400 thousand for Humaidan to ensure a high financial condition, The Government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques thankfully paid these money.
After a long trials, the housekeeper decided to withdraw her statements ,but she was threaten by the authorities if she do that .Then after haggling between the judge and defense counsel, the court sentenced his wife to imprison 45 days and 48 hours for community service and compensation for the housekeeper about 9 thousand dollars. However, the Prosecutor General told his wife that she supposed go to hell and not to the prison. Authorities have manacled her and escorted to jail in front of her sons amid their screams and without giving them any opportunity to say goodbye. On August 31, the court sentenced Humaidan to 28 years ,and he will be called after 28 years to see if he has pleaded guilty and admitted his mistake and intended not to return to it , or turn the sentence to all his life.
Who thought that the tragedy ended here is wrong. Humaiadan has sent a letter to his parents, stating that the authorities had shaved his beard and install lightning ring to torture his body ,then he was placed in solitary confinement and transferred to another prison without informing the lawyer or his family and remained in that prison for eight days.
After that the prosecution dropped the suit of against the Federal Court in Humaidan and this legal action in order to weaken the authority of the Minister of Justice ,and to not be able to intervene if the issue has become a federal court because the UK government is putting pressure on high levels to end this issue .However, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Crown Prince are taking care personally of this issue and its developments.
Once he was transferred to the new prison, he started to teach
the prisoners the Arabic language. He also delivered an emotional speech in front of the court which sentenced him to 28 years and this is the text of his word.
In the name of Allah the Merciful
My name is Humaidan alTurki ,Muslim from Saudi Arabia, I'm 38 years old and I have five children ,you have already meet them during this trial.
I am a student in the Ph.D. at the University of linguistic science, "Colorado" ", and I'm doing well in my studies. I am grateful and thankful for this opportunity to address the court. Although I chose not to talk on behalf of myself during the trial, I found the need to make some statements and affidavits in the case of my innocence. When I came to this the country before 14 years, I felt I am lucky. Very lucky that I have the privilege to do a PhD and my family with me, which gave me peace of mind of being on my side instead of being on the other side of the world. Optimistic about a lot, my wife and I, because we had the opportunity to live in a country that practices religious freedom and educational opportunities. We felt that we can secure the livelihood of our family in a natural way just like any other American families while preserving our religious identity and cultural. I went and had become full immersion in the scientific community, and my family and I to do our freedom of religion, and participated in the gatherings of the Muslim community in the "Boulder", "Denver", "Fort Collins", "Greeley"
contributing to the life of the Muslim community and to society as a whole much as possible. Dear judge, I am here not to apologize, because I cannot apologize for something I did not make it and I did not commit crimes. . I say this not for arrogant, but this is the truth. In this country, the reality is difficult, because I am a Muslim, you cannot see or feel about it if you were not Muslim, your civilian advantages are not taken, you can sit on the stage and say what you want , but the fact remains the same and reality does not change. All I can do is to invite all the wise to listen to my words, people who did not take prejudge to me because of ethnic or native.
I ask any wise person .. Ask the wise listen to me. Please listen to me, I want to begin my statement thus: the fairness of the trial, I really want a fair trial. Please, I want a fair trial. I need a clear criminal suit ,because I am human at the end .Why my children ,my family ,and my community be punished because of our religion and our race.??
Why do not we get a fair case? Why we are prosecuted? The Government litigate us for what ?? Judge, the state was investigating me since 1995 and they have not been able to prove anything against me, and this is what I will come back to it later. All that I want is just a fair trial, even though I know that this wish is impossible, and no one would listen to me in this community which is fearful and vindictive against the Muslims. This society does not help, but I hope that one day things would be logical here ,because life always changes.
My sister Zoulikha, I still call her a sister, despite she accused us, but because I know she was forced to do that. The Federal Bureau of (FBI)has forced her for six months to say what they want. Zoulikha was a members of our family and I treated her as I treat my daughters. She ate with my wife and daughters, and she went on vacation with the family. Clothes that she wore liked the clothes of our family . You cannot ask someone in a different religion to be fully American. You cannot ask us to go to a nightclub, we are Muslims, and different, really different. Zoulikha sister's cloth were not punishment as the state claimed , but she was pride of it, and she said that in court more than once . The state has criminalized these basic of Muslims. In fact, this attack on the traditional dress of the Muslims was the main idea of the opening statement (Getting Started) for the plaintiff, because he has consistently expressed to the jury during his allegations that such clothing made sister Zulekha invisible and therefore she was a victim, focusing on the "phobia" of Islam (Islam phobia). You've seen the "mannequin" (puppet show clothing) that they have and its ugliness, and how they kept it in front of the jury, and this is the worst that can be done to the Muslims. As far as I know, my wife ,my children ,all those in my environment ,my community and all who met Zoulikha when she was in our house have looked she was happy because she was living in our house. However , before she was arrested, she did not mentioned that she wants to return to Indonesia, I did not know that she was unhappy with her work, ,her clothing or with the manner of living that she has chosen by herself , or even time that she spent with my family. She has enjoyed a good relationship with me, my wife, and my children. The fact that sister Zulekha after her arrest in migrant detention center, had called me and my family many times to express her fear because she is no longer with us. She was afraid from authorities, because she lied repeatedly about her age. She Also asked us to help her in any way to raise the pressure and allocate any lawyer. Suddenly, she disappeared from the immigration center, no one was able to connect to her , even the lawyers for more less than month or a month and a half. Then , we received a call from her and she was crying and asking for help. We have learned that they kept her in a safe house .The victim does not do so. Victim - of any kind – dose not call the family, which she accused them. But we do not know what happened with her after that, all I know is that her story was changed.
I know that the crime created from nothing. I do not know why sister Zoulikha allowed to change her statement, but I doubt that she accepted what happened because of her fear that the authorities would litigate her .Who have made this issue a personal matter to get the most possible gains, in addition to the promises that she got to be able to stay in the United States if she cooperate with them.
I know that people in authority questioned her repeatedly for 6 months after her arrest as what is proven in court, which made her change her statement and accusing me and my wife about a lot of things that we did not commit, although she did not make any of these charges for any of the specialists.
During the six months when she was talking directly with clients, when they asked her if she was subject to sexual harassment, she said no, she said "no" clearly and without hesitation, as records indicate.
The record of the Federal Office FBI refers to the talks were not recorded by the Bureau (federal) which is the most accurate organization in the United States, which can detect the smallest things according to their claim. They brought people from the Indonesian Consulate to sit with her and convince her to deal with the authorities and all what we could get out of her was a call from the Federal Bureau in midnight , she cried and said :" I lied to them when they asked me about my salary which caused a pain in my stomach." So , she Did not say that she exposed to sexual harassment or any kind of harassment. Many of social workers have met her more than once, as well as the Federal Bureau agents to reach their desired goal.
I do not know why authorities chose to follow me ,although they were investigating me since 1995, as it indicated in records, and now they accused me in state court and the Court of Federal Union about the same charges.
If you look closely at the events in this cases you will note clarity that clients have manipulated this investigation.
Judge, since September 11 which was used in my cases to open the way for jurors to prejudice me as terrorist, Muslims are being targeted by the U.S. authorities which are covered by security ,terrorism ,and through continuous monitoring, audio tapes, and the loss of civil liberty .But all these incompatible with the intention of your predecessors in this country . It is really offensive to justice in the United States if the authorities cannot make a Muslim terrorist, or if someone claims suggests that this person might be a terrorist and the authorities could not do it after that, they (the authorities) will not let him alone, and they will not apologize but they will look for anything to accuse him, and the mobile event which happened before two weeks ago is good example.
Dear judge ,men from the authorities have come to me before these accusations to bargain with the lawsuit to go home, it did not include the charge of sexual harassment or any of these things, but I rejected it .The meeting included: a lawyer, and prosecutor in the (office) Federal, FBI agent," and another man from the immigration office called the client "Peru", which witness this case. He told me the following very loudy, so the lawyer asked him to lower his voice or end his speech,he told me: "You know, if we cannot annihilate from you through the housekeeper case , we will do that from your taxes way, and if we cannot so ,we will find anything, go to home. Just go to your country. " This was exactly the words of that client.
However, clients instead of doing their required duty, they were preoccupied with destructive means to make me guilty by any means available even if they destroy my family.
Dear Judge, that all the accusations were fabricated by the authorities because they were not able to file a terrorist lawsuit against me and simply because I am not a terrorist, and they wanted to get the results regardless of the crime.
Authorities assumed that I am terrorist, because I have Islamic books Publishing house and I am active in my community. They also tried to accuse me about my visa. The client "Peru" called my University on Jul 24 m, or around that period, speaking with the International Bureau to cancel my visa, but the university's response was that Turkey is making good progress in the program of doctor study ,then he said:"Is there a way to overturn him ".
Dear judge, they've followed my house and my family over many years and more than that, they suspended me in "Illinois" because my name is mentioned in the list of terrorist .They also have been issued search warrants and applied it to my right ,the right of my work and my home in a desperate attempt to find proof against me, but I am not a terrorist and I do not back terrorism.
I am a Muslim ,I have lived years of my youth in this country up my children and took them to school. When they trying unsuccessfully to accuse me ,they went to the sister Zoulikha and questioned her for months without being registered any of its words until she tell them what they want perfectly. Clients have made this issue a personal matter.
after this fabricated issue, Sister Zoulikha returned to her senses ,but clients upset to do so. And when she wanted to apologize to us, clients also were unhappy. When she married a Muslim man and started crying and trying to reach the defense team to apologize and end the issue, clients were attended to her home to check the husband. Who enjoy such prosperity in the United States? When a woman marries, authorities come by themselves to make sure that he is suitable husband?!
Clients were Trying to convince her not to do so to the moment when she told the client »Bebek« that she wants to drop all charges, he told her the famous phrase that we hear everywhere which is : "Are you with us or against us?" then she said: "I'm with you." Because she was afraid, and within three weeks, she divorced from her husband because he was standing in the way of what they wanted, because clients did not want anyone stop them from achieving one of their intentions towards me.
Dear judge, sister Zulekha and me are not only people who intimidate on them in this case ,but also there are defense witness, and the claim as well, and a member of the community came to court to support me. These witnesses are members of the Muslim community of immigrants who are subjected to this case. They have been questioned for why they had come to court and support me .They were exposed to the challenge every time when they declared any statement that does not fit with what clients want to hear, they also were asked: "Are you with us or against us?"
Dear judge, any attempt to help me during the trial was always facing by the federal agents. So, one of the elderly members in my community has been questioned in the corner outside the courtroom, and even more so, they have tried to discredit my reputation and spread rumors about me among the people of the community .Since about a week or two weeks, the client "Bebek" went to one of the members of the community threatened her because she writes a letter to this esteemed Court to support me.
Judge, in spite of all these observations and investigations performed by the clients for more than ten years, I could not defend myself because I also be denied access to information about the investigation or consideration of the documents under the pretext of "security concerns".
We should not deceive people anymore on behalf of national security and not to remain silent on such things, because when people are deceived with such excuses, innocent people could go to jail, families could destroy as they destroyed my family and my life.
During the trial, you can also remember that Sister Zoulikha was always said that her gained money was kept safely my wife Sarah, which is not opposed by Sister Zoulikha days.
Dear judge, my wife and I were accused in this Court, in federal court, and in immigration court, if you're in my shoes dear judge with your family and your children, what would you do? If you and your wife accusing and expect a life sentence ?what would you do?!
Please, saved one of us. I've decided with my wife ,and I have been convinced her that it is better to accept the settlement of a crime that she didn’t committee , in order to exonerate herself to stay with these children because we do not want them to become orphans.
All I want is a fair trial and I did not get it in this case you, Judge.
Prosecutors use words such as: the enslavement and engage in trade rights to complete this issue, and in fact that clients are hold Sister Zoulikha and prevented her from receiving money that we want give her.
Judge, this Court has allowed the existence of evidence not related to this issue. They do not know the difference between the Muslim and Saudi Arabia, and all they only know is Islam phobia which is the fear of Muslims that prevails in the United States these days.
There is a juror was sentenced to advance ,although he was asleep more than half the time during the trial, but no one take any action against him despite the lawyers referring to you to do so.
Judge, I have condemned depending in fears and feelings, not on evidence, there is no physical evidence of any kind and this is because, as I said ,it is the wrong time to be a Muslim. These issue does not have real essence. These courts were not for me or for the crime, but a trial of Islam and Muslims. All I wanted, Judge, that I treat like any accused American who have the right to see the protection against civil rights, but I did not have this right.
Dear the judge, once again I will conclude as I started, I want a fair trial. Please, please, I want a fair proceeding, and a jury fair. trial gives me my civil rights instead of make me guilty because of my country.
