[chicago-aneinu] Please help Jacob Ostreicher

If anyone knows Jacob Ostreicher's Hebrew name, please let me know. I received the following: Ami magazine has 2 consecutive issues on this and Nightline featured it on their news show, This frum man has been held in a Bolivian prison for 11 months and has not been charged with anything. The prison is run by the prisoners and this is not a joke or an exaggeration. It is part of the horror. One person who was able to see him in jail wrote "I've been in all sorts of prisons all over the world. This one is a world unto itself.' Bolivia called it's ambassador home for being slighted a number of months ago and as always America did the same in return giving us even less access.. You will need to "register" if you have never done so before signing a petition to the While House. It takes a couple of minutes and your done for any future petitions. The goverment wants 25,000 signatures by June 2nd before it will begin to make it a priority. I would consider it a Kiddush Hashem if they got twice that number.
