Title: JACOB OSTREICHER, CHEREDI JEW- POLITICAL PRISONER IN BOLIVIA
Post by: Dayenu on July 10, 2012, 08:47:32 AM

Is anybody aware of a Brooklyn Charedi Jew, Jacob Ostreicher, imprisoned in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, in horrendous conditions with no charges against him by Communist Indian President Evo Morales for 11 months? Sen. Chuck Schumer is helping.  It is unclear if Secy. of State  Hillary Clinton is helping but she may be in a quiet way.  He went to the Communist nation to run a rice factory.  This is one of the many articles on the internet about him.  He needs our help:

Shalom Dayenu,

I have not heard of this till you brought it up. From the initial reports I see it seems you are correct. He is suffering a great injustice at the hands of wicked edomites. It is a mitzvah for every Jew to work to secure the release of Jews being held by non-Jewish tyrants. We cannot allow this religious Jew to suffer any more.

We must get the word out about his situation. Here is a report from ABC news on his situation:

Here is a link to a 'petition' to the white house to express our desire to free Jacob from his bolivian hell...
