(Morocco World News) Hassan Shibly, a Syrian-American civil rights attorney and a notable Muslim-American leader, is facing accusations of domestic abuse.
On December 28, Shibly’s wife Imane Sadrati posted a plea for help on Youtube. She asked for financial support and solidarity from the Muslim community to help her escape an abusive marriage.
Sadrati shared an online fundraiser page seeking donations to support her and her children. “I got married at a very young age. However, when I was 9 months pregnant with my firstborn, my marriage became volatile and abusive,” she said.
The campaign succeeded in raising approximately $28,611 for Sadrati and her children.
In response, Shibly dismissed his wife’s claims in a Facebook post on December 29.
