Political Prisoner Update: Imam Jamil Al-Amin once known as H Rap Brown, a former minister of information for the original Black Panther Party is still being held on a federal prison plantation in Florence, Colorado despite his classification as a state prisoner and should not be in federal custody. This makes it difficult for the family of Imam Jamil Al-Amin that lives in Georgia to visit him.

The federal involvement in the Imam’s case fits a US Government pattern of continued targeting, terrorizing and otherwise mistreating victims of former FBI Director J Edgar Hoover and his CointelPro operations. You can find a link to a change dot org petition demanding that Imam Jamil Al-Amin be transferred back to the state of Georgia and out of federal custody on our Facebook page Political Prisoner Radio.
