Call to protest H. Rap Brown being put in solitary confinement!

[ckaihatsu]

The number that has been provided to protest the placing of the Imam Jamil Abdullah Al Amin (the former H. Rap Brown) in "the hole" is the general prison number. Insofar as our brother is in maximum security, the protest needs to be made at a different number: 719-784-9464. They will transfer you to his counselor, Mr. Madison. They would not give us a direct number for Mr. Madison, but they will connect you with his number, which also has a voice mail. PLEASE CALL! THIS IS NOW THE SECOND WELL-KNOWN POLITICAL PRISONER, THE FIRST WAS LEONARD PELTIER, WHO HAS BEEN ATTACKED SINCE THE ELECTION OF OBAMA. Some have thought that the prison/police/fascistic structures are afraid of Obama's and Holder's supposedly more liberal inclinations with regard to the prison-industrial complex and even political prisoners, and want to make sure none of our heroes are ever freed. Free Jamil Abdullah Al Amin! Ona Move! Free Mumia and All our Political Prisoners!
-----------------------------
Jamil Al-Amin has been moved to what is known in prison as
"the hole". He was strip searched and placed in a
cell with no bed, no control over the lights and no shower.
They have taken his Qur'an and all of his other
personal property.

Please take some time contact the warden, and to get the
word out to all of your contacts. We all need to
write, call, fax or email Ron Wiley Warden ADX to inquire
as to why Jamil Al-Amin has been placed in the hole. No
information has been given as to why this transfer was made,
but nothing could justify this inhumane treatment.

In the past when action has been taken by the public on
Jamil Al-Amin's behalf, changes have been made that
benefited him. Please remember to keep your correspondence
brief and to the point, and avoid threats, rambling etc. We
want positive changes to be made.

Die Nigger Die is actually one of the better black prisoner memoirs that I've read. Blows George Jackson and Cleaver's out of the water.

Imam Jamil Al-Amin, (formerly known as H.. Rap Brown) was placed in
the prison hole under 24 lockdown for allegedly violating phone
privileges for inmates. It is alleged that the Imam made a phone call
or phone calls that allegedly exceeded the number of calls allowed
inmates per month.

The real problem with this allegation is that Imam al-Amin has
absolutely no control over the access to or use of the prison inmate
phone. The phone is in the possession of the prison guards at all times,
whom can only provide it to the inmates AFTER APPROVAL from prison
administration to afford an inmate to make a call. If the Imam was in
excess of the number of monthly calls allowed, he could have very easily
been informed of that fact and the phone would not have been provided to
him, if in fact it was. Just how is he responsible for this allegation,
or the derelict, irresponsible actions of the prison guards, prison
record keeping and prison administration? If the allegation is true, was
he unknowingly set up? The prison guards have said they do not ever
recall anyone being put in the hole, the most severe and inhumane
treatment in the most severely inhumane prison in the world
(underground), for an alleged phone privilege violation! Nothing could
justify this inhumane treatment!

There was seemingly another development that may truly be the motive
for this action taken by the prison Warden. It was not until recently
that the Imam was allowed in the company of other prisoners and after
several interactions with various prisoners, several requested Qurans,
including several White Aryans. This fact resurrected the case in
Reidsville, Georgia prison that prompted the Imam's transfer to this
totally underground Supermax prison known as "Alcatraz of the Rockies,"
wherein the Imam was instrumental in the conversion to Islam by one of
the prisons White Aryan leaders. That apparently is unacceptable
behavior in the prison system. The real travesty is the denial of his
human, civil, and due process rights, and the inherent freedom to
practice his religion, al-Islam.

The Imam has recently gained several invaluable legal victories in
the courts regarding his violated rights and privileges to mail and
visits dating back to Reidsville. One of the conditions sought in
negotiation as part of settlement of the recent victories, was his
transfer back to the Georgia State Prison System or another prison
closer to his family in Georgia. The federal government has stated that
they would return the Imam back to Georgia State prison if they
requested him back, but that has been rebuffed by the Georgia State
prison system. To do so would be admitting they were wrong in
transferring him to the federal system in the first place and the truth
is his transfer was illegal, immoral and done out of retaliation.

The family asks that you please take some time to contact the warden,
and to get the word out to all of your contacts. Everyone needs to
write, call, fax or email the Warden Ron Wiley to inquire as to why
Jamil Al-Amin has been placed in the hole, how long is he expected to be
held there, what are his conditions there, and when is he expected
to be returned to his cell under normal conditions?

In the past when action has been taken by the public on Jamil
Al-Amin's behalf, positive changes have been made that benefited him.
Please keep your correspondence brief, direct, and avoid any comments
that might be taken out of context or that might be interpreted as a
threat, or demand.

The media is being specifically requested to write the warden to
request an interview with the Imam and send a copy of the request to the
Imam and his personal spokesperson Imam Khalil Abdur-Rahman at the
addresses below.

Directly below is a written plea from the Imam's son Kairi hoping
that you will find it in your heart to write the warden and to implore
your circle of friends, associates and email groups to do so as well.

***************

My father, Imam Jamil Al-Amin, aka H. Rap Brown, was under 23 hour
lockdown in the super max prison in Colorado until recently when he was
placed in the hole. He was stripsearched, his Quran and all other
personal belongings were seized and he has been placed in a cell with no
bed, no control over the lights and no shower.

We are appealing to you to please write, fax, or call the WARDEN of
the prison Ron Wiley inquiring about my father's current situation and
why he has been placed even further underground.

Please help out and spread the word, it would be greatly
appreciated. Contact info for the warden is below thank you.

Sincerely,
Kairi Al-Amin
