Detroit detainee supported { December 14 2002 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.freep.com/news/metro/haddad14_20021214.htm http://www.freep.com/news/metro/haddad14_20021214.htm Rally set to support Muslim activist Haddad has been jailed a year on visa charge December 14, 2002 BY TAMARA AUDI FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER Supporters of Rabih Haddad, the Ann Arbor Muslim activist and charity fund-raiser who has been detained in the terrorism investigation, will hold a rally today -- the one-year anniversary of his arrest. Haddad was picked up by federal officials when his charity, Global Relief, was targeted by President George W. Bush's administration as a possible supporter of terrorism. But the government has yet to charge Haddad with any terrorism-related crimes. He is being held on a visa violation. His supporters have argued that he was a victim of an overzealous government campaign to target Muslims after the Sept. 11 attacks. Haddad is being held in the Monroe County Jail. His wife and five children are allowed half-hour visits, twice a week. The rally -- "365 Days and Counting, Where Is Rabih, Where Is Justice?" -- will feature speakers from the American Civil Liberties Union, immigration lawyers, Haddad family members and local politicians, organizers said. The event is being organized by the Free Rabih Haddad Committee and is scheduled to run from noon to 1 p.m. outside the federal building in Ann Arbor, at Fifth and Liberty streets. "The main reason we're having it now is that we want people to know we didn't forget about him," Kristine Abouzahr, the committee's spokeswoman, said Friday. "We're still here, we're still with him and we're supporting him. He's still in jail and he only has a civil violation. You can't detain people for suspicion."
