CALL TO ACTION TO RELEASE TARIQ RAMADAN ON BAIL With the President's visit to the US, now is an opportune time to put some public pressure on Macron's government to treat Dr. Ramadan like anyone else facing such accusations should be treated. This call to action is being undertaken on behest of many national organizations and individuals. The question of the guilt or innocence of Dr. Ramadan is not a part of this call and is irrelevant to the issue at hand, which is that the French authorities should treat him fair and square. CALL TO ACTION: IMPLEMENT AND SHARE WITH OTHERS Release Professor Tariq Ramadan on bail immediately! Take a minute to call, fax or send a message to the: EMBASSY OF FRANCE IN THE UNITED STATES 4101 Reservoir Road, NW – Washington, D.C. - 20007 Phone: + 1 (202) 944 6000 Fax: 1-(202) 944-6166 Direct Message to the Embassy https://franceintheus.org/spip.php?article1131 We call on French President Emmanuel Macron and the French government to immediately release on bail Professor Tariq Ramadan, allow him to organize his defense so as to face the accusers in a fair court proceeding. Furthermore, the failing health and well-being of professor Ramadan are the direct and sole responsibility of the French state – a presumed innocent man until proven guilty that has not yet had his day in court or found guilty is being held in solitary confinement, which should come to an end immediately. Lastly, the charges and the case in general should not be linked to any developments or possible carrying of favors for any segments of the domestic right-wing Islamophobes or interested Arab and Muslim political elites that are seeking to settle political accounts through it. We call on the French government to uphold justice and fairness, nothing more and nothing less, for all involved.
