Support Imam Jamil Al-Amin!

FREE RAP! COMMUNITY REPORT & UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2006

INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN
(the former H. RAP BROWN)
547 West End Place, S.W. Atlanta, Georgia 30310

The Justice Fund PO Box 93963 Atlanta, Georgia 30377

IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN (the former H. Rap Brown) is 
still maintaining the highest degree of spiritual 
integrity, personal dignity, diligence over 
violations of his HUMAN RIGHTS and perseverance 
against multi-various forms of indecent, inhuman treatment.

After six and a half decades of experiencing the 
worst forms of American hypocrisy—discrimination, 
including four and a half decades of persecution 
by improper prosecution, climaxing in a 
sensational trial which produced not a shred of 
evidence to lead to the unjust conviction and 
illegal sentence of LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE plus 
thirty-five years. With over six and a half years 
of solitary confinement the Imam's response is 
"They ain't make me ... so they can't break me."

LEGAL

Imam Jamil Al- Amin's Habeas Corpus hearing for 
the state of Georgia was postponed from June 28, 
2006 to October _ ?, 2006. If granted a new trial 
at least two hundred thousand dollars 
($200,000.00) will be needed to assure minimal 
legal representation for the Imam (contribute to 
the Justice Fund listed above).

If a new trial is denied that will exhaust the 
(Georgia) state level of remedies. There are 
still several legal proceedings for relief on the 
federal level. Through the building of a genuine 
struggle and movement for HUMAN RIGHTS and 
self-determination there exists a multiple of 
remedies for relief not only for Jamil Al- Amin 
but also for hundreds of other Political 
Prisoners and Prisoners of War in U.S. jails and prisons.

Imam Jamil Al-Amin has filed a list of grievances 
against the State Prison at Reidsville, Georgia 
over conditions and policies that violate his 
HUMAN RIGHTS. Some of these grievances violate 
the rights of many prisoners at Reidsville who 
have started their own momentum towards getting 
Al-Amin released at least to the general 
population so that he can serve as Imam and councilor.

MEDIA: LET RAP RAP

The prison is trying to affect a MEDIA BLACK OUT 
on Imam Jamil. They are not allowing any 
interviews with known writers, newspapers, 
magazines, radio, TV, internet services or any 
other known forms of public information The 
ICSIJAA is still circulating interviews conducted 
by The Block Report produced by POCC (Prisoner of 
Conscious Committee) RADIO and on Prison Radio by 
Noel Hanrahan (Live from Death Row - Mumia Abu 
Jamal). We are calling for all "alternative" as 
well as "mainstream" media institutions to join 
with us to fight for yours and Mr. Al-Amin's 
constitutional right to free speech.

GRIEVANCES

IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN is a Political Prisoner who by 
all International and Human Rights Standards and 
by all standards of decency and common sense 
should not be housed and treated in the manner in 
which he is presently housed and treated. Having 
filed grievances with the State Prison's process 
of reviewing and alleviating grievances to no 
avail, he has subsequently appealed the state 
prison's findings on these grievances with the U.S. federal courts.

These grievances include:

* Denied basic human rights
* Held in administrative segregation
* Confined to a cell at least twenty-three hours 
each day. When out of cell being caged in with a fence above his head
* Denied due process: held in administrative 
segregation since arrival at facility
* Denied religious rights: denied participation 
in any communal Islamic practice; denied 
attending salatul jum'ah and to serve as imam to 
prisoner and employee population at facility.
* Denied legal rights: legal mail is still 
interfered with in spite of a court order
* Sexual abuse: forced to strip and cavity search 
in the presence of female employees.
* Attempted assassination: at least three episodes of food poisoning

grievances. DEMAND AN END TO THE DENIAL OF IMAM
