Sattar is a wonderful person who was given TWENTY EIGHT YEARS in jail for speech - nothing happened. No One was injured. And yet, every one is so worried about Lynne Stewart. As a member of the NYS bar I say this. Ahmed Sattar did what he did bc he believed in it. Stewart is no more than a lazy fame whore.
