A U.S. citizen, wrongly imprisoned in Dubai for over four years, still has not received help from the U.S. government.
VO: QUIET DIPLOMACY BETWEEN THE U.S. AND UNITED ARAB EMIRATES GOVERNMENTS HAS FAILED, AND A LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE.
ZACK SHAHIN, A U-S CITIZEN HAS BEEN WRONGLY IMPRISONED IN DUBAI FOR FOUR YEARS, WITHOUT BAIL OR TRIAL AWAITING TRIAL ON FALSE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIM. AND, AMERICAN OFFICIALS HAVE YET TO SPEAK OUT ON HIS BEHALF.
IN DESPERATION, ZACK HAS DECLARED A HUNGER STRIKE, WHICH HAS GONE ON FOR NEARLY A MONTH.
TO HELP ZACK, SECRETARY OF STATE CLINTON MUST NOW PUBLICLY DEMAND THAT THE U.A.E GRANT ZACK IMMEDIATE AND REASONABLE BAIL.
ZACK SHAHIN:
ZACK: “SECRETARY CLINTON, PLEASE DO NOT LET ME DIE IN A DUBAI PRISON FOR CRIMES THAT I DIDN’T COMMIT AND WITH NO CHANCE TO PROVE MY INNOCENCE. IT’S BEEN FOUR HORRIFIC YEARS SEPARATED FROM MY FAMILY. WHY DO YOU SPEAK OUT FOR NON-AMERICANS BUT YOU WON’T FOR ME? PLEASE DEMAND THAT UAE GRANT MY IMMEDIATE AND REASONABLE BAIL. PLEASE MAKE A PUBLIC STATEMENT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.”
VO: HELP SAVE ZACK! VISIT FREEZACK DOT COM AND URGE YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN TO TAKE ACTION.
