Response to Call to Help for Imam Jamil Al-Amin

As-Salaamu Alaikum,

Yesterday, after a letter to the Department of Corrections and calls to the prison on behalf of the Imam, Reidsville provided covered food to the Imam.  In addition, this morning the warden met with the Imam and acknowledged that the assault on a prison guard allegation was false.  The warden also requested that the Imam get the word out that future calls should be directed to the Department of Corrections in Atlanta concerning his conditions.  The warden called the office of Imam Jamil's wife, with the Imam present this morning to provide the update.
Imam Jamil would like to thank everyone who called on his behalf. This is an indication that a swift outporing of support and outrage can rectify these types of baseless charges and harassment.  It clearly is a sign how important it is for us to respond quickly and never to forget our responsibility to assist the Imam and others who are incarcerated.

Shukran and please continue to keep the Imam and his family in your prayers


Jazaka' Allah Khairun
