An innocent man enduring egregious prosecutorial misconduct
This misconduct includes the withholding from the Imam's defense of exculpatory evidence, including a sworn confession of a man fitting the description in police reports of the March 16th, 2000 shooting (specifically with respect to the assailant's height, eye color and the gun shot wound inflicted in return fire).
Imam Jamil confers with a man on the basketball court in Atlanta's West End Park
The West End Community Masjid, under Imam Jamil al-Amin's leadership transformed West End Park from an open air market in illicit substances and women's bodies to a community gathering place where kids can shoot hoops, families can meet for a bar-BQ, couples can walk at dusk; and where every corner of the community in hearing distance of the adhan (call to prayer) broadcast five times each day by the masjid was a place which enjoined the good and prohibited evil.

The FBI, COINTELPRO
and Martin Luther King Jr:
Final Report of the Select
Committee To Study
Governmental Operations
With Respect to Intelligence
Activities
(Church Committee)
The FBI’s COINTELPRO remains one of the darkest chapters in our nation’s history. For decades, the FBI carried out covert actions and dirty tricks against social movements. COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) included among the program’s many targets, organizations such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and individuals such as Martin Luther King, Jr, as well as local, state, and federal elected officials.
There’sa bill in Congress that will open up the FBI’s files. HR 2998 would require full, public release of the FBI’s COINTELPRO files. This historic bill is an important step to reconciling with the FBI’s continued legacy of undemocratic abuses of power.
Please help us make history and expose FBI dirty tricks. Please write your member of Congress today to ask them to support this bill and to support efforts to broaden it to cover the full scope of FBI files.
