Iranian student's trial postponed
University Daily Kansan
The trial of an Iranian student arrested in November outside the KU Foreign Student Office, originally scheduled for Tuesday in federal court, has been postponed until Jan. 24.
Hussein Seyed Gerami, Iran, sophomore, was to appear on a charge of violating a statute requiring an alien to have a certificate of registration in his possession
Gerami was arrested Nov. 27 by an investigator with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. He also was charged with aiding the United States longer than authorized.
DEPARTMENT HEARINGS against Gerami and three other KU students are to be held before an INS officer today and Friday (Wednesday) according to a J. A. Nutz, an INS investigator.
was standing outside the foreign student office telling Iranian students, in their native language, of their rights concerning the release of students detached on campus in conjunction with the review of all Iranian students ordered by the Iranian government, the holding of American hostages in Tehran.
At the time of his arrest, Gerami allegedly
Clark Coan, director of foreign students services, allegedly asked Gerami to stop speaking to the students. An argument began and an INS investigator then asked Clark Coan to speak, alleging he was advised by his attorney, John Fryman, not to present his passport.
Gerami later was taken to Kansas City, Ks. He took a $100 bond was reduced to $1,500. He then escaped from the arrest. An additional $100 bond was posted on the charge of not carrying the proper weapon.
A FLIER was issued after his arrest by three KU student groups. The flier said his arrest limited his right to free speech.
r yrumman said she still thought his right of freedom of speech was abridged.
She said she had filed a H-appeal brief in the Federal Magistrate Court in Topeka asking that the charge of not carrying proper registration certificates be dismissed.
"It was a trumped-up charge," she said yesterday. "There's no protection when someone wants to make you a scapegoat."
"There's so much confusion about what proper registration is that I don't think the court can prosecute. It's also a law that applies to all aliens, not just iranians," she said.
She would not say whether Gerami intended to seek a judicial remedy for what he thinks is a plot to silence his views.
