On Friday November 13, Spain's Supreme Court will hear the case of jailed political prisoner Fergie Chambers, as he fights an extradition request to the United States on charges that his supporters call dubious, false and politically motivated.
His supporters have called for a "global day of action", urging supporters of the pro-Palestinian movement and human rights movements to demonstrate in front of Spanish embassies or make phone calls and emails to request that extradition be delayed and that Chambers be granted political asylum.
Chambers faces charges including money laundering and conspiracy to riot. Not only does he deny these charges, but supporters say they are designed to punish Solidarity, as Chambers has used his vast wealth to donate millions of dollars to Palestinian humanitarian organizations.
Moreover, there were eyebrow-raising legal anomalies as pointed out in Chambers' defense. Chambers' phone was turned over to the FBI by Spanish authorities.
