targeting is strict vendor was caught on video for all to see the sweetheart do you received from the manhattan. da's office is a shameful front of our justice system and hold on fitting to his actions, as opposed to an answer most, some biggest from hate crimes are on the rise nationwide, and large punishments are a slap in the face to the victims. the represent a failure to address the severity of the issue, perpetuating a cycle of injustice and further marginalization. mr. sort of that's who worked as an aid to former president obama was arrested in november after a viral video showed him insulting a muslim worker in manhattan. ortiz caleb mountain has been looking deeper into the controversial case. we're here on the upper east side of manhattan and a 24 year old mohammed who's saying is hard at work. it is lunchtime, and he was the victim of a pro long street harassment campaign. months of intimidation and threats that were
5:21 pm
made by steward selda with a former official of the obama administration. i was there and i was working on a normal day and he come asked me about the, what are the from, i think we offer music off the associate. he told me is about thomas. and you can be able to use i didn't do anything of that. i also saw him on a buckle on something like this. i think my phone on record to him. now. i'm scared about what he can do for me because i'm just working here. i don't know of anybody . you know, the video was stewart sale, the widths and the hateful things he was saying to 24 year old mohammed. uh, they circulated the internet and generated a huge amount of outrage. i bought a new printer terrace. you support? are you seeing go, i'm the, i'm seeing. i'm not some book you go. i'm just working huge. right. you're a terrible person. you considering not me. go my to get sure thing. not me go,
5:22 pm

5:23 pm
while the criminal ports seem to have let stuart sell to. it's off the hook for a haps, there can be a lawsuit in which some justice is one and with some compensation is awarded to mohammed who's saying for what he endured. but there was widespread outrage not just here in the united states, but all over the world about what the young street vendor was subjected to. so you drove hate crimes charges against former obama official stewards. seldom it's a he harassed the street vendor multiple times and gleefully called for the depths of posting and children. and it was all called him via your office as a joke, replace palestinian for jewish and see what would have happened to the perpetrator sold of it. some others like him, are untouchable. tale is only for the legal people who can meet hate crimes. a bama state department official gets charges dropped after he targets and stokes, a full truck vendor. no jail for steward. sel though it's just as a vice training. so the case has generated a lot of outrage,
5:24 pm
but it looks like the courts here in new york city. don't consider what stuart cell the woods did to be very serious and have given him what many are calling a sweetheart deal. we'll have to see how this kate develops as the legal proceedings. continue have a lawsuit goes. caleb mauppin, archie, new york, late attorney, and founder of the muslim legal law firm. hassan shibley's says the case reflects an alarming trend of quote, as i'm a phobia among us politicians, despite large scale pro palestinian protests held by the american public. i think this case displays true extreme problems with the united states. the 1st is don't forget it. with this individual was this individual was responsible for helping shape u. s. foreign policy towards palestine is real. and we see that is real feeling a 100 children a day with american support, american weapons, the entire united nations. fact that means against, for digital is doing in america's one of the few nations that stands in support of israel's 4th of crimes against humanity. and i think seeing this individual and his
5:25 pm
and so i must some anti or add to i tell assume hatred and the hatred that he's expressed. how he's the humanized and vilified his most of neighbors and most of businessmen. i mean, i think that just reflects the problem of us foreign policy. you have people that are filled with hatred and they support policies that we ultimately see a leading terrific blood shed in the middle east. so when you see people like him, it's no surprise that america is unfortunately enabling the genocide of the palestinians from us once a new deal with israel, that would say a prisoner swap. and a last thing truce that's according to senior guys, an official by some name, who spoke with us exclusively here in moscow on friday. it is a great pleasure to have joining us here in the russian capital today. dr. bye, same night he by you are a member of the how must political bureau in gaza joining us here in the russian

5:27 pm
a list of names of some of the russian citizens who are the nationalities russian on this slide is uh we um, really need to convey this message to our brothers and leaders and goes because it is extremely difficult now to give any information is because of this very complicated situation on the ground. uh, but we have in the 1st uh, attempt to reach a ccf. we have exhibited a lot of efforts to respond to the russian goals, especially from prison, fulton to release some of the russian hostages in does of the and we have also did the clear, did you want to clarify how complicated this is the original integral of distance
5:28 pm
to the, as you have seen, the northern part of the survey is totally destroyed and the, the west of the cell phone, but this also is on the truck most of the time. therefore, to move to seats for the caption. so juice of hostages is extremely serious and dangerous because of the continuous one button. and uh these uh, caption, most the sole jaws are in the hands of different groups in different places. and you have seen that even though, so he, the attempts will to release these hostages have coasted the life of those. but isn't those because again, it is, you're talking about a very complicated and a very serious and dangerous situation because it is a very competitive, very serious and dangerous situation on the ground. but is how mass actively trying to get these russian hostages back?
5:29 pm

5:30 pm
send the need a few minutes in it to the northern part of guys that they have looked at when it comes to shore. think i'm coming from the scene as you wouldn't, this is for you. and also when it comes to be committed to the conditions or to the names of the list of people as teen and businesses, women and children on definitely the side to release them based on our list. unfortunately they have, they will not, they have not committed to all that. the only thing that is real keeps violating the terms of any potential ceasefire. yes, when it comes to the terms that you offer? yes, the 2nd piece was we are looking for a fine on it to turn the comprehensive seas fave. is that is, is that a fact is how much looking for it is? yes, this is what we are looking for, which kind of low to open the boat does to live the seized on know the aid to get in to goes up to the school. the rest of to been through the menu impacting as auto .
