My father Ghassan Elashi -- who co-founded the Holy Land Foundation, once the largest Muslim charity in America -- is serving a 65-year-sentence inside a "Communications Management Unit," or CMU in Marion, Illinois. He was convicted in 2008 of conspiring to send material support in the form of humanitarian aid to Palestinian charities that prosecutors alleged were fronts for Hamas, which the U.S. designated a terrorist organization in 1995. The guilty verdicts came a year after the first trial, which ended in mistrial in 2007 after jurors deliberated for 19 days and failed to reach a verdict on most counts. The results of second trial baffled defense attorneys who pointed out that USAID, Red Cross and many international NGOs donated to the same charities.
