And supporters of the jailed Palestinian professor Sami Al-Arian are voicing outrage over another new indictment against him in a case unrelated to his original jailing. On Thursday, prosecutors indicted Al-Arian for refusing to appear before a grand jury probing an Islamic charity in Northern Virginia. Al-Arian has already spent an additional eighteen months in prison for refusing to testify. He was due to be released in April after serving five years on charges that he was a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He had accepted that sentence after reaching a plea agreement to avoid a second trial. In his original trial, a Florida jury failed to return a single guilty verdict on any of the seventeen charges brought against him.
