| Saudi Men Released After Boarding School Bus in Tampa |
| 2006-05-26 |
One should never, ever lie to authorities; and here’s why: Just four months into a five-year stay in the United States, Shaker Mohsen Al-sidran, 20, and his friend, 23-year-old Mana Saleh Al-manajam, experienced a harsh side of American life after deciding to board a yellow school bus last Friday. The Saudi students were charged with trespassing on school property when they mistakenly boarded the school bus. A day after their arrest, a judge revoked their $250 bail to give Immigration and Customs Enforcement time to check the backgrounds of the two men.The problems resulted from a language barrier. “They have a very limited command of the English language,” Ahmed Bedier, director of the Central Florida office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations told Arab News by phone. |
