This comes as a Jordanian man was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months in federal prison for his role as the executive director of a charity that sent money to Iraq in violation of U.S. sanctions. Ayman Jarwan is an associate of Dr. Rafil Dhafir, the founder of the Help The Needy charity who was convicted of violating the sanctions against Iraq. Jarwan cooperated with prosecutors and the FBI and his supporters said he was led to believe that if he cooperated, he wouldn’t go to jail. The American Civil Liberties Union called the sentence “bewildering.” Jarwan likely will be deported to Jordan after serving his sentence. His supporters say they fear he will be tortured in Jordan, citing Amnesty International and other reports documenting the country’s torture of prisoners and political detainees. Dr. Dhafir is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 27. The government has recommended a minimum sentence of 24 years.
