Cabdriver Killing City Workers Trial Starts Today
The Muslim Community, up in arms by this senseless murder is expected to attend this trial. The cabdriver, a devout Muslim was murdered supposedly over a fare. The community beleives it was a case if racism and should be investigated as a hate crime.
Micheal L. Jackson, 38 is charged with 3 counts of murder and one of aggravated vehicular hijacking in the Feb '05 killing of Haroon Paryani.
Council on Islamic Organizations of greater Chicago is asking for support for Paryani's family, and other slain cabdrivers.
I've been asked "Where is the support for the community now? Is it because the killer is a city worker, an AIDS activist?"
Please consider attending attending this trail in Judge James Shreier's courtroom.
