Letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice re: Fathi Al-Jahmi, September 2, 2008
As Secretary of State Rice prepares to travel to Libya in the coming days, PHR has written to her to urge that human rights cases be a central focus of her dialogue with Libyan officials. Specifically, we call on the Secretary to raise the case of political prisoner Fathi al-Jahmi, an activist for a free press, free elections, and nonviolent democratic reform in Libya, and tell the Libyan government to release him immediately. Fathi al-Jahmi has been of particular concern to PHR as he continues to suffer serious health problems; he should be free to seek medical care in Libya or elsewhere.
