Dear friend,
I hope this finds you well.
I am writing to you today, to inform you about serious charges the
Government of Jordan has accused me of, which might lead to imprisonment.
The accusation is based on verses in some poems I wrote 22 years ago. These
accusations vary from "offending the Jordanian State and the armed forces,
raising internal conflicts and unrest, and presenting distorted information
on the events of September 1970 to the new generations".
As you can see, these accusations are groundless. It is a clear case of
violating the basic human rights, specifically the freedom of expression.
The Jordanian Writer Association has condemned this action and called upon
the Government of Jordan to stop this violation and to immediately drop the
charges against me. Many Jordanian and Arab associations and human rights
organizations have voiced concern and joined the campaign protesting
against this action. Nevertheless, the Government still insists on its
accusations and the charges are now submitted to the Court of Law. If
condemned I'll be facing a prison sentence from 6 to 36 months.
For this, and because I know that you personally would not accept such
violation, I call on you to join the solidarity campaign initiated by The
Jordanian Writer Association, and write to the Jordanian government in
protest against this action. I will appreciate it if you can circulate this
call among friends, media and associations in your country and worldwide.
The addresses of the concerned Government organizations to write to are the
following:

Warmest Wishes
Ibrahim Nasrallah

working on editing a translation of a volume of his poetry.

He's a good friend and ally.
