Saudi citizen Homaidan Al-Turki and his wife arrive at the Arapahoe County courthouse on May 12, 2006. Al-Turki has sued the state of Colorado, Arapahoe County prosecutors and the FBI in federal court claiming they defamed him by falsely saying he sexually assaulted his maid and had ties to a terrorist.

Re: “Homaidan Al-Turki not a threat to national security,” March 23 letter to the editor.
Attorney Faisal Salahuddin opines that it is unfair that his client Homaidan Al-Turki is unable to spend his prison time in Saudi Arabia. Indeed, Salahuddin laments that others’ “misconduct … unfairly devastated Al-Turki’s life and reputation.”
Al-Turki’s egregious misconduct [he was convicted of numerous felony counts of sexual contact and a misdemeanor count of falsely imprisoning his maid] damaged a young woman’s life. Where is the outrage for her, the cry for her justice?
Al-Turki deserves to suffer. He can never suffer enough to justify the suffering of the young woman he exploited. For those of us who believe young women are people, too, it is difficult to feel sympathy in this case.
