Petition for Commutation of Sentence for Masoud Khan
To: President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Obama:
The case of Masoud Khan is an example of preemptive prosecution:
a law enforcement strategy, adopted after 9/11,
to target and prosecute individuals or organizations whose beliefs,
ideology, or religious affiliations raise security concerns for the government.
I support the efforts of Masoud's family and supporters for commutation
of his sentence and allow him to return to his family and his Maryland community.
We ask you to make possible this forgiveness, healing, and rekindling of hope for Masoud, his family, and his community.
