Umar abd al Rahman´s lawyer gets 28 months in jail
Lynne Stewart, the lawyer of the Egyptian, Umar Abd al Rahman, recieved a 28 months sentence for acting as a go between, facilitating contacts with his supporters in Egypt. The two others in the case Ahmed Abd al Sattar and Muhammed Yousry recieved prison terms of 24 years,and one year and eight months.
¨Prosecutors held that between 1997 and 2002, Stewart and her co-defendants helped Abdel Rahman pass messages to his followers in violation of government restrictions on his right to communicate with the outside world.
In particular, the prosecutors said, Abdel Rahman used the three defendants to exhort his militant Islamic group to break a ceasefire with the Egyptian government.¨
Umar Abd al Rahman himself was sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in the conspiracy around the first world trade center bombing in February 1993, other landmarks(the Holland Tunnel for instance, if my memory serves me right).
