<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The Imam Jamil Al-Amin (Formerly H.Rap Brown), Support Rally in Atlanta, GA </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Friday, July 26 - Details.</span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The Call For Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin. An action-oriented follow-up to the May 3rd Appeals Hearing. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">“You are the best of nations raised up for humanity; you enjoin the good and forbid the evil.” The Noble Qu’ran (3:110) Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin gained prominence more than 50 years ago as a young firebrand activist by the name of H. Rap Brown. In the 1960s he became one of the most prominent leaders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and one of the most recognized figures in the African-American freedom struggle. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Following his conversion to Islam, and release from prison for his resistance activities, he moved to Atlanta (GA) in the 1970s and led one of the nation’s largest Muslim groups, Al-Ummah. On the night of March 16, 2000 – on the eve of Eid ul-Adha (one of the two major holidays in the Muslim calendar) – Imam Jamil is alleged to have gotten into a gunfight with two Fulton County sheriff deputies who were on the West End of Atlanta to serve a warrant that many argue never should have been issued.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Two years later Imam Jamil was convicted of “murder” in the death of Deputy Ricky Kinchen, and the malicious wounding of Deputy Aldranon English. While the state pursued the death penalty, Imam Jamil ended up being sentenced to life in prison. He has spent most of the past two decades in brutal solitary confinement; but while no longer in America’s “supermax” prison, he still remains cut off from the academics, journalists, historians and others who would like to have access to this still controversial figure in American history. On May 3, 2019, supporters of Imam Jamil packed a courtroom in downtown Atlanta, where a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in the constitutional challenge to his ongoing imprisonment and request for a new trial. There are a number of important issues at the heart of Imam Jamil’s appeal: from a constitutional violation that the court acknowledges occurred, to the omission from the trial of a man who had earlier confessed to being the assailant who shot the sheriff’s deputies on March 16, 2000. Imam Jamil, his family and supporters, are still awaiting the decision of the court. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">On Friday, July 26, 2019 as folk converge in Atlanta from around the US for The 36th Annual Riyaadah, a support rally for Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin will be held in front of The CNN Center in downtown Atlanta – at the intersection of Marietta Street & Centennial Olympic Park Dr (starting time is 4 PM). This mobilization is being led by The Aafia Foundation, Inc. and the Imam Jamil Action Network (IJAN) – with the endorsement of Al-Ummah. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">At the heart of the West End neighborhood of Atlanta is the Community Mosque, a quaint house, turned spiritual refuge, for Black Muslims from all over the country. In the early 1990s, at the heart of the Community Mosque, was Imam Jamil Al-Amin, a gangly, soft spoken man from Louisiana with a scruffy reddish brown beard and a knack for catchphrases that blended the latest hip hop slang into reminders about making 5 prayers a day. So when you heard him say he’s checking you “because I’m Muslim by nature, not ’cause I hate ya,” it made you realize that to be Black and Muslim was not only acceptable, it was downright cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> My introduction to Imam Jamil was not a direct one. When my family and I first moved to Atlanta in the fall of 1992, the West End Muslim scene unfolded like some sort of Black Muslim Utopia. A soulful adhan was the soundtrack to Black children of all ages in kufis and khimars playing with each other on either side of the street. The intersecting streets near the masjid gave way to a large covered basketball court, on which the game in progress had come to a halt due to the number of players who chose to answer the melodic call to prayer. Overlooking this scene from the bench in front of his convenience store, like a shepherd admiring his flock, was a denim overall and crocheted kufi-clad Imam Jamil. Before I heard him utter a single word, it was obvious to me that I was in the presence of a transcendent leader.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"> The early 1990’s was an exciting time to be in Atlanta. However, one of the unfortunate undercurrents of our booming urban economy was the inevitable rise of the drug trade. Reagan had been out of office for a full term, but his crack epidemic and trickle down economics were still very prevalent in inner city neighborhoods across the country. The West End was no exception. At the intersection of Holderness Street and Lucille Avenue, just 100 yards from my childhood home and four city blocks from the West End Masjid, stood a notorious motorcycle club and corner store. Both businesses were knee deep in the interests of prominent local drug dealers and it wasn’t long before that corner earned the reputation as a “million dollar block.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">One might think living so close to such a dangerous corner would make for a tale of hard knocks, peer pressure and intimidation. For the Muslim kids, that was the furthest thing from our reality. Instead, we ran around that neighborhood with impunity. When the dope boys saw us coming, they would step out of our way, offer to buy us snacks from the store, or just whisper to each other about us being “Big Slim’s folks.” Sometimes they called him Rap. Or the Imam. The bottom line was, they may have pulled the usual dope boy tricks of recruiting and terrorizing kids within the neighborhood, but us Muslim kids were off limits.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">There was an honor associated with being a member of Imam Jamil’s community, a VIP hood pass that made us immune to the usual ills of this sort of environment. This street credibility from outside the Muslim community stemmed from Imam Jamil’s days as H. Rap Brown, a revolutionary fighting for Black rights. It evolved when he demonstrated the ability to bridge gaps between young and old, Muslim and non-Muslim. People respected that his entire life revolved around salat at the Masjid. This made him accessible and dependable. Five times a day, the adhan was called and Imam Jamil would either lead or appoint someone to lead the prayer. Afterwards, no one would leave unless he raised his hand for permission and got the nod from the Imam. After finishing his dhikr and du‘a, the Imam would ask, “Is there anything anyone would like to bring out?” Brothers would bring forth questions, concerns and news from around the neighborhood, and the Imam would address it or tell the person to meet him after salat. The drug issue was at the forefront. Slowly but surely, prayer by prayer, the million dollar block was abandoned. Miraculously, after efforts to clean up the neighborhood around the million dollar block, now stands the West End Islamic Center, a beacon of hope for sustaining the community.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">One day after Asr salat, Imam Jamil asked, “is there anything anyone would like to bring out?” and my hand went up. All eyes turned to this 12 year old kid and I blurted, “Why do you always recite two surahs in every rakat? When you were out of town, the other brothers did the same thing. Is that some kind of Sunnah that I don’t know?” I saw eyebrows going up and heads shaking all around the room. I felt like I made a huge mistake, but my curiosity had gotten the best of me. Imam Jamil smiled and replied, “I recite the surahs that have the most meaning, the most barakaat.” Later, he called me to the bench outside of his store to further explain his logic, dazzling me with his smooth way with words and sense of humor. For all of the intrigue, awe and fear that he inspires, the fact that Jamil Al-Amin was willing to take time to address me when he certainly had more pressing issues on his plate is what I remember most fondly about him. For all of his international acclaim and notoriety, he will always be the man that paved the way for me to grow up proud to be Black and Muslim.</span><br />

His jaw was swollen to at least twice its normal size, and he is in a lot of pain. We were told that the institution had been on lockdown for two weeks, which is why no word had gotten out earlier.</div>

A family member was later able to speak with Imam Jamil and confirms the information. Someone from the Jericho Medical Committee will contact the prison clinical director to see what, if any, medical info can be gotten from the institution.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We reported that on Monday, October 6, 2014, Imam Jamil had been moved to Canaan USP, in Waymart, PA. We can report today that he is in general population. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Our voices were heard that he should not be placed again in solitary confinement--a custody placement that never was warranted by the Bureau of Prisons. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We thank you again for joining us in the campaign that made this possible.
We will continue to monitor Imam Jamil's health conditions, and to work for his freedom to bring him home. We certainly will keep everyone informed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For two months, Imam Jamil Al-Amin #99974-555 has undergone tests at Butner FMC in North Carolina.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Imam Jamil has smoldering myeloma, which is an inactive form of multiple myeloma. Individuals with smoldering myeloma generally are monitored without receiving treatment, although there are studies that indicate early intervention with medication could prevent the progression to active multiple myeloma. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The physicians at Butner FMC have not recommended that Imam Jamil receive any medication for his smoldering myeloma. They agree that he should be monitored and tested every two to three months to determine any progression of his condition. Imam Jamil has other medical conditions, which have not been addressed adequately at the Butner FMC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> 1. Ask that Jamil Al-Amin is <b>NOT</b> returned to Florence ADX, and Request that he is <b>NOT</b> placed in solitary confinement because of his chronic medical state.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> 2. Request that Jamil Al-Amin is held - pending his appeals - at Butner, NC or a Georgia state facility to have access to his team of attorneys. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. Request close monitoring and exploration of treatment for Jamil Al-Amin's medical conditions.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Date: September 15, 2014</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For two months, Imam Jamil Al-Amin has undergone tests at the Butner FMC as a result of our successful campaign to have him transferred out of the Florence ADX to the federal medical center. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The campaign was necessary to bring attention to his failing medical health that the Florence ADX continued to ignore. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> For those who joined us in advocating on behalf of Imam Jamil, and to those who have sent letters and cards to him, we continue to extend our appreciation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We are able to report that Imam Jamil has smoldering myeloma, which is an inactive form of multiple myeloma. Individuals with smoldering myeloma generally are monitored without receiving treatment, although there are studies that indicate early intervention with medication could prevent the progression to active multiple myeloma. The physicians at Butner FMC have not recommended that Imam Jamil receive any medication for his smoldering myeloma. They agree that he should be monitored and tested every two to three months to determine if his condition has progressed; then and only then would he receive aggressive treatment if the test results reveal he has active multiple myeloma.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Although Imam Jamil has other medical conditions, which we feel have not been addressed adequately at the Butner FMC, he is “awaiting transfer.” In this regard, we plan to do the following and ask you again to join us in raising our collective voices to prevent another injustice:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> continue to oppose Jamil Al-Amin’s return to the Florence ADX, and challenge any FBOP’s decision to house him in another federal facility under solitary confinement conditions in his chronic medical state;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> continue to call for Jamil Al-Amin to be held, pending his appeals, in a state or federal Georgia prison to have access to his team of attorneys;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and
continue to urge close monitoring and exploration of treatment for Jamil Al-Amin’s medical conditions. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Please raise these concerns with any of the following: </span><div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> On July 23, 2014, at the Butner FMC, Imam Jamil had a bone marrow biopsy to determine the presence of myeloma cells. Yesterday, Kairi and I visited with him at Butner, and today he was told by the Butner medical staff that the biopsy results revealed “some myeloma cells.” He was told he needed to be monitored and tested every two to three months to determine if his condition has advanced to the full multiple myeloma stage. He would not remain at the hospital and could be monitored at another facility. The pre-cursor condition is called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).
This raises the issue that more than likely he will be returned to Florence ADX until he has another episode. The sunlight has helped him at Butner, but I still am worried about his weight loss and the fact that he would be moved out of Butner so quickly.
We are working tomorrow to contact Congressional reps, although many are away on vacations. The thought is that if he is moved back, it will be difficult to get him back out of Florence short of his becoming deathly ill.
We will have to go public once again with the BOP’s decision to return him to the same institution that failed to recognize his medical condition until public pressure was exerted. He needs to be close to medical providers who are skilled with monitoring his condition, and Florence ADX lacks that capability. Meanwhile, we are working on obtaining his medical records from Butner, so that we can involve our physicians in evaluating the findings, making recommendations, and monitoring Imam Jamil’s condition.
Let us know your thoughts. </span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Even-though we were initially jubilant about our success in having Jamil Al-Amin/ H. "Rap' Brown moved to a medical facility, we were already aware that our work was not finished. <strong>We have every reason to fear that he may be returned to solitary confinement or/ and back to Colorado. We cannot allow that to happen.</strong> Drawing from the people who came together in Jackson and their circles, we have formed the Emergency Committee on Humanitarian Aid for Jamil Al- Amin/ H. "Rap" Brown. We are creating a committee of medical people to send the attached letter to the director of prisons. Please remember that this is not an argument about the innocence or guilt of Jamil; it is about the inhumanity of keeping a person in solitary confinement for 13 years and denying him medical care.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are writing for two reasons. <strong>If you know of medical people who would be willing to sign the letter, please contact them, show them the letter and have the person email me at<a href="mailto:frushing@ben.edu" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">frushing@ben.edu</a>. If you are willing to have your name listed as a member of the committee, email me with that information.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Attorney Al-Amin, Imam Jamil (H.

When this is confirmed we will share that information.
Thank you for all support shown during this time. I will keep you updated as more information becomes available. </span><br />
