Motisola M. Abdallah, Secretary General
Appeal to all Imams: In
Eid
Khutbas,
refer to our
Political Prisoners
by
Name. Pray for their health. Send them
letters
assalamu alaikum: Dear Imams of mosques in
America
and Worldwide
America's Imam,
Jamil Abdullah al-Amin,
is in prison on trumped up
charges. Please pray for his health and strength
and work for his early
release. He is the symbol of the Prophet's (pbuh)
Sunnah in his defiance of
the American power structure.
Also, please pray for the health and
well-being of our other political
prisoners in America. There are numerous
political prisoners but some of them
are getting very little support owing to fear of
the U.S. government
especially among immigrant Muslims. Remember that
you have the right to help
prisoners in legal ways. You can write to them,
send them money for basic
needs, try to interview them, urge them to call
you collect. In addition to
Imam Jamil, here are some prisoners we consider
wronged and deserving of help:
1. Leonard Peltier,
"Red Indian" leader. (Small
support committee).
2. Mumia Jamal (has widespread support from the
left).
3. Siddique Abdullah Hasan (led prison uprising,
now on death row). Very
little support.
Write to:
Siddique Abdullah Hasan.
