For those interested in reading my Jazz Times column on Tarik Shah, the jazz bassist accused of conspiring to aid al-Qaeda, you can access it here [pdf].
In the time since I filed the piece, it has come to light that Shah’s trial will not begin until October, and that he will remain in solitary confinement until then. Although I have voiced my differences with Shah’s support campaign, I agree that the terms of his detention at present are excessively harsh. For more information, visit Shah’s support website.
