A Qura'anic Verse: Surat un Nisa'a (Women) IV, Arabic script in Jeli Diwani, Ink and Acrylic

The Diwani script was developed by the Ottoman Turks in the late 15th century. According to Safadi (1992), its invention was attributed to Ibrahim Munif, and further refinement to Shaikh Hamadullah. It was originally used for secretarial and governmental purposes. It is heavily cursive and can be dramatically interlaced. The Jeli-Diwani is an ornamental variety, the development of which was attributed to Alhafuth Othman. It is distinguishable by the heavy use of the diacritical marks and dots, which fill the spaces around the letters.

Protesting slave-like work conditions: On hunger strike outside the White House: May 20, 2:02pm 1 review people, humanitarianism, usa, human-rights, news-stories
http://www.inteldaily.com/?c=144&a=6656; Protesting slave-like work conditions: On hunger strike outside the White House

Twenty-four Indian guest workers launched a hunger strike outside the White House May 14, protesting the slave-like conditions they endured working at the Signal International shipyards in Pascagoula, Miss. The workers each paid $20,000 to a recruiting agency for work in the U.S., often selling their homes in India and taking out loans on the promise of substantial returns from the "American dream." But on the Gulf Coast, they found a nightmare.

The workers were crammed into a trailer and locked in at night, released only for work and for sporadic trips to Wal-Mart for necessities. They were each charged $1,050 for these atrocious living arrangements.

The workers are on hunger strike not only to put pressure on Signal to end its involvement in labor trafficking, but to protest efforts to deport them.

"After all this, we are the ones who are being treated like criminals," the hunger strikers said in a statement. "We are told we must turn ourselves in for deportation procedures before we can participate in an investigation into our case. We know this is what Signal wants -- for us to disappear back to our homeland to drown in an ocean of debt. But they cannot silence us so easily."
