SALEM JAFFER

Salem was arrested just outside of Buffalo, NY in a Burger King parking lot. A Burger King employee called the police describing Salem as suspicious. When the cops arrived they claimed he was driving a stolen rental car, even though Salem was able to produce a rental contract. He was held in solitary confinement for more than one month and waged numerous hunger strikes to find out the charges against him. It took a New York jury seven minutes to clear Salem of all charges of “unauthorized use of a rental car.” The case cost him $25,000 in legal fees. Salem plans to return home to California soon.
