Protest the Assassination of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah and Subsequent Cover-up
On Monday, February 1, Dearborn Police will release the long suppressed autopsy report on the death of Detroit Imam Ameen Abdullah. The Islamic leader was killed in Dearborn by FBI agents on October 28. Since Imam Abdullah's death many local and national Islamic, African-American and human rights organizations have refused to accept the law-enforcement version of events.
The Michigan Emergency Committee Against War & Injustice has condemned the assassination of the African-American leader and is demanding that all relevant information pertaining to the case be made public. In addition, we are demanding that those responsible for the unjustified death of Imam Abdullah be held criminally liable.
Preliminary reports on the autopsy suggests that the imam was shot 21 times, with numerous gunshot wounds found below his waist and in the back. The imam was then handcuffed and placed in a prone position.
MECAWI views the murder of this Muslim leader as a continuation of the federal government's counterintelligence program aimed at neutralizing and liquidating African-American leadership. This assassination took place alongside the escalating repression against Muslims in the United States and the expansion of U.S. wars abroad in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen.
All those who seek justice for the family and friends of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah should participate in the press conference and demonstration.
