Granted Asylum, Nun Held in Va. Jail
This is pathetic, folks. If somebody doesn't stop these fascists in the gestapo called Homeland Security, the whole idea of asylum, rights, and just about everything else this country stands for is going to be nothing but memory. If a Buddhist NUN who had to sneak out of China to get here doesn't deserve asylum, WHO DOES? Do you think if this was a catholic nun trying to escape Iran, she would have been given asylum? You bet your butt
HOPEWELL, Va. -- Sonam always feared her devotion to Buddhism would land her behind bars in her native China. As it turns out, she is serving a long term in jail -- not in East Asia but in central Virginia. [Washington Post: Front Page]
