An American multi-millionaire who gave over a million dollars to humanitarian aid in Gaza, is now languishing in a Spanish prison. James "Fergie" Chambers, the heir to the Cox family fortune, has been locked up in Spain since July after the US demanded his extradition. His crime? Funding aid to Palestinians and support for activists who attacked an Israeli weapons company (Elbit Systems).
Money laundering?! US authorities accuse him of money laundering and "material support" related to protests and transfers he made while living in Tunisia. His lawyers call it political persecution for daring to stand by Palestine under genocide. He donated to medical care, food and projects for children in Gaza while publicly backing the Palestinian right to protest.
Disgusting, and unconstitutional, if the United States still uses this guideline. Freedom of speech? A right to political opinions? The right to spend your money on humanitarian aid No good deed goes unpunished.
Meanwhile, the world's most wanted war criminals are on the loose and dictating to foreign governments. crazy.
