<br>
Please be advised that Comrades Bashir Hameed, Jalil Muntaquin, and
Dhoruba Bin Wahad all presently serve as Interim Advisory Board members
for the <b>Safiya Bukhari-Albert Nuh Washington Foundation: <i>"To
Support The Health, Legal Campaigns & Families Of U.S. Held Domestic
Political Prisoners/POWs, Exiles And Fallen Comrades" <br>
</i></b> <br>
Please read, respond and then pass on the following information and
requests for these three loyal Freedom Fighters.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><u>BASHIR HAMEED </u>: Has now been unjustly held captive as a
Political Prisoner for over 26 years<br>
</b> <br>
<br>
This past Saturday, June 3, 2006, Comrade Smitty and I had a (6) hour
visit at Comstock Prison with Bro. Bashir.<br>
<br>
On the positive side Bashir looked very well after his recent release
from an unjust solitary confinement in "the hole." He was
in particularly good spirits to be able, after nearly 30 years, to
"kick it" with Bro. Smitty about the good old days of Jazz
Clubs and Panther comrades in New Jersey. Bashir also asked that we
convey his appreciation to those friends, supporters and comrades whose
letters, faxes and phone calls were beneficial in getting him out of
punitive isolation last week.<br>
<br>
On the negative side Bashir reported that while he was in isolation his
cell was totally trashed "like never before" and that some of
his personal property is now missing as well.<br>
His major concern however, is the need to be moved into a cell that is
away from his current "Times Square like" location in the
prison. The constant traffic, noise, chaos and 24hr stress of his
present general population/orientation cell is a serious health threat to
his currently poor heart condition.<br>
<br>
Bashir is respectfully requesting that folks resume their
"communications" with prison officials and demand that he be
moved to a quieter and less life threatening prison cell
environment. Additionally, Bashir is requesting that designated
individuals respond to his personal requests given to me and Smitty for
delivery that pertain to internal legal prison matters.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><u>DHORUBA BIN WAHAD</u>: Was released after being
unjustly held captive as a Political Prisoner for over 19 years<br>
</b> <br>
<br>
Priority financial assistance is urgently needed to help fly Bro. Dhoruba
this coming weekend from Ghana to the United States. <br>
Dhoruba is currently working to put the issue of U.S. Political Prisoners
on the Pan-Afrikan Agenda at July's historic Reparations/Repatriation
Conference to be held in Ghana, West Afrika. It is imperative that he
meet this month with folks on this side of the Atlantic in order to both
raise funds and put together a PP/POW delegation to join him next
month.<br>
<br>
Additionally, there are two major Political Prisoner Conferences/Programs
taking place in New York City (6/12 & 6/17) in which Dhoruba needs to
be a participant and finally; we need him physically present to legally
challenge and overturn the continuing "vindictive" ban on his
visiting New York State Political Prisoners. <br>
<br>
This effort has so far raised about a third of the $1,400.00 airfare
needed to get him here and we need additional funds ASAP. Your tax
deductible donation is still needed even after this weekend in order to
reimburse any loans that we might have to secure in order to get him here
on time.<br>
<br>
Please make your checks payable to Dhoruba's attorney: <b>Robert Boyle,
Esq.<br>
</b> <br>
Checks should then be mailed to: <b> The Safiya-Nuh Foundation<br>
P.O. Box# 690458<br>
Hillside Station <br>
Bronx, New York 10469<br>
</b> <br>
<br>
<br>
<b><u>JALIL MUNTAQUIN:</u> Has now been unjustly held captive
as a Political Prisoner for over 36 years<br>
</b> <br>
<br>
Bro. Jalil contacted The Jericho Movement this week to request that we
all send letters to the parole board regarding both his character and the
need for his return to the community. His attorney only has a short
amount of time remaining to put together the complete package for the
parole board so <b><i>"please write and send your letter of support
as soon as possible" <br>
</i></b> <br>
For mailing information and/or sample letters go to Jalil's web site: <b>
