URGENT ALERT
22 August 2002
IMAM JAMIL IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, one of the many prisoners of faith IHRC is campaigning for was imprisoned for life without the possibility of parole in March 2002. He was found guilty of the shooting of two sheriffs, one of whom died in March 2000. At his trial which took place earlier this year, many inconsistencies emerged including the fact that no fingerprints were found on the weapons he was supposed to have used for the shootings (see www.ihrc.org The Trial of Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amn vs The State of Georgia). Even before the trial a series of misidentifications and the fact that someone else admitted to shooting the two sheriffs laid an enormous amount of doubt on whether the FBI had arrested the right man.
Since March 2002, Imam Jamil has been incarcerated in the following facility:
Imam Jamil A Al-Amin – EF492521
Georgia State Prison
100 Georgia Highway 147
Reidsville
Georgia 30499-9701
Atlanta
USA
It has now emerged that he is being held under twenty three hours lockdown. In effect this means he is allowed less than one hour a day for exercise, hygiene, telephone calls or any legal activities. Campaigners are urged to send letters of support to him at the above address and also letters demanding his conditions are changed to the following address:
Department of Corrections
No 2 Martin Luther King Jr Drive
East Terrance
Atlanta
Georgia 30334
The letter to the Department of Corrections should also be cc’ed to:
The International Committee to Support Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin
(ICSIJAA)
547 Westend Place
SW Atlanta
Georgia
