...New York oncologist Dr. Rafil Dhafir...remains behind bars in one of the most brutal of U.S. prisons, the Communication Management Unit in Terre Haute, Indiana...Dhafir was sentenced to 22 years for consciously violating the sanctions against the people of Iraq. Many individuals and groups who were not Muslim also violated the sanctions...yet Dhafir, as the driving force behind the Help the Needy Foundation, which provided millions in aid, was the only one to suffer such a fate.
