Lawyers Medhat and Shireen Issawi sentenced to Prison

I was reading the Jewish Press and came across a story that was similar to Lynne Stewart, where lawyers were caught passing messages between prisoners and Hamas. Two lawyer received sentences of 8 and four years. A third lawyer took his life after he was indicted. All the lawyers were Arab working with Arab prisoners. See story here...http://www.jewishpress.com/news/prison-terms-to-arab-lawyers-who-connected-security-prisoners-to-hamas/2016/03/07/

This story tells us that we are all walking a thin line.

I myself was an immigration lawyer, started out with the best of intentions and that at the end of the day, sat in jail 43 months for immigration fraud. To read my prison story, go here...http://www.amazon.com/PRISON-expect-Federal-Bureau-Prisons-ebook/dp/B011GTWLOG
