JOEL IS FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are excited to announce that Joel Bitar is free!
Joel was granted parole in mid-August and the Canadian authorities, in their infinite wisdom, waited until September 11th to drop Joel off at the border—where he left behind prison walls and jail cells on one side and joined his loving family and friends on the other.
Joel has been stalwart throughout his arrest, extradition, house arrest, and imprisonment and we have been inspired by his courage in facing the grinding gears of justice by not only one, but two nation-states, and remaining true to himself and his convictions.
Welcome home, Joel!
