Current Health Crisis

Imam Jamil is currently being held at the FMC – Federal Medical Center near Butner, North Carolina. This latest turn of events is a consequence of a growth, the size of a grapefruit, having developed on his left cheek; making it extremely difficult and painful for him to eat or speak. 

All of this has culminated with him now having a stage of cancer that has prompted a team of medical officials to publicly announce their prediction that he has less than ten (10) months to live. The fact that physicians of the state have made such a dire prognosis based on their expertise and knowledge is, in itself, the reason why he should be granted parole on compassionate grounds.

He still suffers from ‘multiple myeloma’ [a cancer of the blood plasma]; Sjogren’s Syndrome [a chronic autoimmune disease that causes dry eyes and mouth]; the aftereffects of multiple strokes and being blind for an extended length of time due to the BOP’s refusal to provide him vision care. All of these conditions prevailing while imprisoned are a clear case of ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ that very well be an attempt at ‘execution by medical neglect’!
