A campaign against the frame-up was immediately launched by the International Labor Defense, the legal and defense arm of the US Communist Party. |
He and his family immediately claimed he was the victim of a frame-up by his in-laws, but the press reported that the police viewed this as highly unlikely. |
He called the prosecution case against him a frame-up that is part of a government-inspired persecution stretching back decades. |
But it did not occur to me that there could be a mistake, that he could be innocent, let alone the victim of a frame-up. |
Now that the frame-up of the Egyptian has fallen apart, the whole cover-up has also fallen apart. |
So far we don't have sufficient evidence to decide whether he committed a crime or whether it was a frame-up or a political conspiracy. |
