It will take two minutes of your time to send the letter below British Citizen Mohamed Fashi has been illegally detained in a Spanish prison since January 2006. He has been accused of ‘recruiting fighters for the Iraqi insurgency’ but no evidence has been found supporting this claim. Any legal material regarding his case is generally classified as ‘secret.’
On the limited information that has been made available to Mohamed’s lawyer, he has said, ‘they do not have a single proof or evidence to find Mohamed guilty.’ He has been denied adequate access to legal advice.Under Spanish legislation, Mohamed can be detained for up to 4 years without trial.
Muhamad wife and three young children are British citizens resident in the UK.

Dear (Insert Name of one of the above),
Re: British Resident Detained in Spain
I am writing to you to request the immediate release of Mohamed Fashi, a British resident whowas arrested in Spain on 10 January 2006, on charges of terrorism.
He has been accused of ‘recruiting fighters for the Iraqi insurgency’ but no evidence has beenfound supporting this claim. Before his arrest, he was the President of the Islamic CulturalAssociation that he had set up within the Town Council in Spain. He had been making efforts topromote cohesion and understanding within the different communities in Spain through peaceful measures.
Currently he is not even being provided adequate legal representation and his legal case isbeing kept ‘secret.’ Even his lawyer is not provided with complete information.
There is also huge concern about whether he is being treated in accordance with internationalhuman rights standards. It has been reported that he was severely tortured and drugged at thetime of his arrest. NGOs such as Human Rights Watch have also reported that Spanish authoritiesroutinely violate the human rights of detainees held under charges of terrorism.
Mr Fashi’s wife and three children are British citizens who have been traumatized by his arrestand by the injustice he has faced in prison.
I urge you to request the Spanish authorities to offer Mohamed Fashi a fair trial with fullaccess to independent legal representation. If he is not found guilty, he must be releasedwithout delay.
I look forward to hearing from you soon on this matter,
Yours Sincerely, (Your name here)
