INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN (the former H. Rap
Brown)
547 WEST END PLACE, SW
ATLANTA, GA. 30310

ICSIJA.TK MYSPACE.COM/FREETHEIMAM)

THE JUSITICE FUND PO BOX 93963 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30377

COMMUNITY REPORT AND UPDATE : FEBRUARY/MARCH 2008

IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN ( the former H. Rap
Brown) approaches eighth year of Political
Internment. A conspicuous STOP, while driving
while black during the SPRING ’99..., a court
closing due to a snow storm in January 2000 and a
bench warrant for non appearance at that court
date.., a shooting incident and a rush to
judgement accusation. MARCH 16, 2000, an unjust
arrest.., a forced conviction and the inhumane
sentence of LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE plus thirty five years in MARCH 2002.

After being forced to serve five and a half years
in Administrative Segregation.( 23 hour per day
lock-down, no human contact, etc) at the State
Prison at Reidsville, Georgia’s notorious
K-Block, Imam Jamil Al-Amin in AUGUST 2007 was
transferred to the MAXIMUM SECURITY FEDERAL
PRISON at FLORENCE, COLORADO known as the SUPER
MAX. His housing conditions remain 23-hour lock
down, no human contact, silence, five social
visits per month, two phone calls per month, and
denial of all MEDIA requests for interviews
Although he has no contact with them he is joined
by many other POLITICAL PRISONERS who are well
known Muslim leaders, as well as leaders in the
struggle for self-determination...Doctor Mutulu
Shakur, Imam Malik Khaba (Jeff Fort), Brother
Sekou Odinga, Larry Hoover leader of Growth and
Discipline (the formerly the Gangster Disciples),
Dr. Malakai Z. York to name just a few. Due to
all these leaders representing legitimate
“peoples struggles” FLORENCE SUPER MAX is being
referred to as the state-side GUANTANAMO.

IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN’s transfer into federal
custody and to the SUPERMAX comes on the heels
of some hard worked and fought for
victories..(1) The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals
ruled in Imam Jamil’s favor against the prison at
Reidsville in regard to a suit filed to disallow
them from continuing to open his legal mail. (2)
The ground swell of support for the Imam,
developing into phone call ins, postal and e-mail
write-ins bringing the offices at Reidsville
Prison and Department of Corrections to a virtual
standstill along with the periodic protest
demonstrations that would cause Reidsville, the
town and the Prison to shutdown..

SUPPORT MUST CONTINUE write to:

IMAM JAMIL AL-AMIN # 99974-555
USP FLORENCE ADMAX
P.O. BOX 8500
FLORENCE, CO 81226

Depositions relating to his Habeas Corpus hearing
will be done in FEBRUARY, 2008.
Being housed at FLORENCE SUPERMAX makes it
additionally difficult for lawyers, family and
the Imam to jointly work on his appeal…financial
contributions should be made to
THE JUSTICE FUND at the above(heading) address..

FREE IMAM JAMIL! FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS IN THE U.S.
