Please keep us in your prayers in these blessed days of Eid as we continue to work with the father of Ibragim Todashev, the Muslim man who was gunned down by the FBI in Orlando in May.
The search for answers in light of this murky FBI shooting continued last night on The Rachel Maddow Show with the announcement that state prosecutor Jeff Ashton has officially taken up a review of the FBI shooting. CAIR-FL remains grateful to the coverage The Rachel Maddow Show has shown to our struggle for government accountability, transparency and the protection of civil rights.
Get her breakdown of the case developments in last night's show HERE.
CAIR-Florida has been working on the Todashev case since May 2013, providing legal counsel to the victim's family, and calling for an independent investigation. Over the last three months, our efforts were echoed by the ACLU in Florida and Massachusetts, thorough news media from the New York Times the editorial pages of the Boston Globe and Herald. We have all demanded the FBI release any and all evidence or reports and end the secrecy and ever-changing stories so that a civil case can be filed if wrong doing is found.
