been illegally incarcerated now for over seven
years, serving a sentence of LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE

struggle daily for his Human

ANNUAL RIYAADAH ! and he sends his heartfelt
THANKS for the many continued efforts to support him.
LEGAL : Imam Jamil Al-Amin testified at
his Habeus Corpus hearing which was held
February 27, 2007. A summary of some of the
hightlights of that hearing. Attorneys presented
evidence and arguments on fourteen issues
/grounds for reversal including the confession of
one Otis Jackson. Pauper status was conferred on
Imam Jamil which will allow his attorneys to get
the transcript of the trial free of charge.. A
big help in the financial struggle.
On September 27, 2007 oral argument is scheduled
to be heard in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals
concerning the opening of the Imams legal
mail by Reidsville prison officials. This Court
has appointed a private legal firm to assist Imam
Jamil in all matters related to the suit as
well as placed Reidsville Prison on notice for
their continued violations of his Human Rights.
In addition the law firmed refiled the lawsuit
earlier filed by Imam Jamil called the
retaliation lawsuit that deals with many of the
GRIEVANCES in past Community Reports and Updates.
No date yet for the hearing of the retaliation lawsuit.
On or about the 9th of July IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN
was moved after citing an officer for reading his
legal mail. He was move to K3 the mental patients
section where he refused to eat because of the
unsanitary way in which the food was prepared and
served
in addition Imam Jamil was falsely cited
for assaulting the officer. By the 12th of July
Imam Jamil was returned to K4 restarted eating
as his food was then properly served as well as a
statement was made by the warden that the charge
of assaulting an officer was false and would be
removed from the record. Our Imam thanks everyone
who participated in the massive call in to the
prison which undoubtedly had on effect on the
prisons immediate reversal of its stance. Many
of the Prisoners at Reidsville who have stood up
demanding that the Jamil Al-Amin be released from
K-BLOCK and be allowed to serve them as
their Imam have been shipped to other prisons
and are being held in lockdown upon arrival. MAY
ALLAH reward them and encourage us to increase
our level of struggle as we prepare to carry the
struggle forward if necessary to the federal
level and to the INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS level
by pressing our struggle for achieve
self-determination toward freeing the hundreds of
others poltical prisoners languishing in u.s. prisons and jails.
