Emergency Committee On Humanitarian Aid For Jamil Al-Amin aka H. "Rap" Brown

Dear Friends,

 

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. 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. 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.

 

We are writing for two reasons. 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 atfrushing@ben.edu. If you are willing to have your name listed as a member of the committee, email me with that information. Both are urgent. We want to fax the first letter to the director tomorrow or the next day at the latest. This will be an ongoing campaign.

 

If you know someone who might sign the letter and you cannot get them today, please continue to try and get them. We will be sending more than one letter. We need to make the state realize that there is a broad base of support for this case.

 

Thanks,

 

Fannie Rushing

Sign The Petition For Imam Jamil's Immediate Transfer

Click Here And Sign Petition For Imam Jamil Al-Amin's Immediate Transfer

In 2007, Georgia prison officials moved Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, without notice, 1400 miles away to USP ADMAX (supermax prison) in Florence, Colorado. Isolation, sensor deprivation, sensory overload and inhumane conditions are the norm in superemax prisons, especially in Florence. Under these conditions his health has deteriorated.

He waited 10 months to see a dentist and after seeing one, his condition worsened. Subsequently, he waited an additional five months after submitting a dental request to see another. After obtaining test results in June of 2014, Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin #99974-555 needs to obtain an immediate transfer to the best suited federal medical center designed to perform a bone marrow biopsy and determine the best course of treatment.

We, the undersigned are requesting that he obtain an immediate transfer to the best suited federal medical center designed to perform a bone marrow biopsy and determine the best course of treatment. Jamil Al-Amin's grave condition requires high specialization and we are demanding that the objective standards are met. Imam Jamil Al-Amin currently experiences serious and substantial risks to his health. These problems are obviously visible within his lack of desires to recreation, difficulty in eating, rapid weight loss, difficulties in breathing and carrying out normal daily functions. His feet are swollen, top and bottom, he remains lethargic, and is in need of an urgent medical transfer to the best suited federal medical center designed to perform a bone marrow biopsy and determine the best course of treatment.

We request that Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin #99974-555 be transferred to a federal medical center for all the above stated reasons.
