New Push for Fathi's Freedom (BM)

The Washington Post reports that the case of imprisoned Libyan democracy activist Fathi Eljahmi, chronicled often here, is getting renewed attention:

Human rights activists and Western diplomats are increasingly concerned about the welfare of Fathi al-Jahmi, a leading Libyan dissident awaiting a possible death sentence while being held in solitary confinement in Libya, and who is known to have several life-threatening health conditions for which he is receiving little or no medical care. He is charged with having an unauthorized meeting two years ago with a foreign official -- believed to be a U.S. diplomat -- and campaigners are pushing the Bush administration to do more to secure his release.

Let's hope they are successful.  The rest is here.
