Navigation Moody joins amicus brief supporting victims of Hamas terrorism
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and 21 other state AGs have filed a brief urging a federal court to deny requests to dismiss a lawsuit brought under the Anti-Terrorism Act by survivors and family members of those murdered during the Hamas terrorist attack last October.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, seeks to hold AJP Educational Foundation Inc. — also known as American Muslims for Palestine — and the National Students for Justice in Palestine accountable for allegedly providing material support to Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
The AG’s amicus, or friend of the court, brief argues that dismissing these claims before discovery would undermine the ability of victims to receive compensation and prevent organizations like AMP and NSJP from being held accountable for their actions.
