New Trend magazine now has the FBI transcript and hand written
statement of Otis Jackson dated June 3, 2000. It matches the
confession by Otis Jackson, now known as Farrakhan Bey, which New
Trend published in its April 27, 2007 issue. The question arises why
the government has been sitting on the statement of Otis Jackson while
it went on to prosecute and sentence Imam Jamil al-Amin, also known as
America's Imam [H. Rap Brown before he embraced Islam]?
According to the FBI transcript [file #62D-LV-33941] "Jackson
was interviewed in the presence of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
Department officers Dante Tromba and Greg Neglich."
On the day of the murder, Jackson drove to Imam Jamil's residence
and waited for him along with another "black male." The transcript
continues: "Approximately 10 minutes after Jackson arrived at Alamin's
residence, Alamin arrivd in a car at the residence. As the three men
were talking, a police car arrived and two police officers attempted
to serve Alamin with a warrant. Jackson believed the warrant charged
Alamin with impersonating an officer and something about stolen
property. Jackson stated that he did not think the warrant was valid,
so he spoke out and a verbal disagreement with officer Kitchen
proceeded. The argument got heated and Kitchen's partner attempted to
handcuff Jackson."
The transcript goes on to describe the fight and the shooting of
the officers in detail. Jackson also describes the guns he used and
the process he followed to get rid of the guns after the shooting.
According to Jackson, not only was Imam Jamil NOT involved in the
shooting but "Alamin tried to stop Jackson from shooting at the
offcers by getting in Jackson's way." The transcript adds: "Alamin
asked Jackson why he had shot the officers, but Jackson did not answer
except to say that he was going home."
Jackson's hand written statement affirming the content of the
transcript is appended to the transcript.
That was in June 2000. The government hushed up the confession of
the shooter. In 2007, Jackson wrote his confession again, in his own
handwriting, and sent it to New Trend.
Thus the leading Imam of America is being held in prison and
mistreated for something which he never did. It is time for all
Muslims, for all people of African descent, and African-American
Muslims in particular to demand justice and cry out:
"Pharaoh, LET MY PEOPLE GO ----- FREE IMAM JAMIL NOW!"

Imam Jamil needs our help! Please read and circulate widely!
From: Free Imam Jamil Al-Amin <freetheimam @ yahoo.com>
After filing a complaint with prison officials that his legal mail
from his wife was being opened by guards, Jamil Al-Amin was moved to
another area of the Reidsville Prison. The area he is currently in is
reserved for mental patients, and those who throw their food at
guards. When Imam Jamil asked why he was moved to that area of the
facility, he was informed that a guard (the same guard that illegally
opened his mail) had put on his record that Jamil Al-Amin had
assaulted him.
The food Jamil Al-Amin is being "served" is brought uncovered, and
fed to him through what can only be considered a troth (which is the
way pigs and other farm animals are fed). Prison officials also use
same opening used to push his food through to mop the dirty floor of
the cell, furthering the possibility of contamination. This unsanitary
food handling has prompted Imam Jamil to refuse the food from the
Prison entirely, in essence Imam Jamil is on a hunger strike.
Jamil Al-Amin's defense team is asking that he be moved to another
facility because he is not recieving fair treatment at Reidsville as a
result of filing his complaint.
We have an obligation to contact the Warden and ask for his fair
treatment.
Please write or call the Warden at the Reidsville Prison
Stephen Upton , Warden
Georgia State Prison
Reidsville, GA 30453
or call (912) 557-7301
The initials of the guard that both opened Jamil Al-Amin's mail and
added the false assault incident to his record are "A.D".
Please remember not to make threats or allegations. Examples of
concerns to raise in your correspondence would be the following:
Why was Jamil Al-Amin recently moved into an further isolation, and
to an area of the prison reserved for patients with mental problems?
Why is Jamil Al-Amin still being held in Administrative
Segregation?
What is being done to ensure the best interests of Jamil Al-Amin's
safety and heath?
Please circulate this widely and do all you can to help Imam Jamil
Al-Amin!

Quick Response by Support Group Restores Imam Jamil's Daily Rights
Jamaat al-Muslimeen [News], Baltimore, MD
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 outpouring 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
Jamaat al-Muslimeen is sending out cards to important personalities
calling for the release of Imam Jamil al-Amin, America's leading Imam.
