Esmail, 24, an American citizen, was arrested last December when he visited Israel to be with his dying father near Ramalla in the West Bank. He confessed to joining the Popular Front for the Lib- eration of Palestine and to having gone to Libya for terrorist training. (In Washington, mean- while, the Palestine Human Rights Campaign presented an appeal for clemency on Esmail's behalf to Israeli Ambassador Simha Dinitz and to Patricia Derian, human rights officer at the State Department. It was signed by 58 prominent academicians, religious and civil liberties figures.) Esmail's Communist at- torney, Felicia Langer, has been itharged by two inde- pendent observers with de- laying the case while she raised money for his defense fund in the U.S. Friday, lime 16, 19111 19 DAR You're one of a ind...

Miss Fleener's mother, Mary Boettcher, says, "Upon my return from Is- rael I presented to the news media the facts regarding Israel's handling of my daughter's case as I per- ceived them from the only source of information I had, my daughter's attorney, Felicia Langer. "Recently, certain docu- ments have come into my hands and certain events have transpired that have caused me to question my former perceptions. I also feel that my daughter's case has been misused by those who would detract from Is- rael's position in the world and drive a wedge between Israel and the United States. Neither my daugh- ter nor I have ever wished harm to any country or peoples and resent being used in this manner. "Although I was hurt and upset by the Sup- reme Court's denial of Terre's appeal, I question if she was adequately represented. I was told on several separate occa- sions by her attorney that Terre wished to plead not guilty but the attorney advised her to plead guilty. I now question the wisdom of this. "Although I am not an at- torney and have not had a legal opinion on this docu- ment, I feel that the written appeal lacked sufficient strength and, indeed, seemed more to be directed at the competence of the court than toward the com- muting of Terre's sentence."
