Background

Veteran black rights campaigner Imam Jamil Al-Amin has been imprisoned since 2000 for under allegations of shooting two Fulton County deputies, despite someone else allegedly confessing to the crime to the FBI.

IHRC has campaigned for him to have a new fair trial for many years, and we are alarmed to hear that the 81-year-old former Black Panther has had various health issues including serious swelling, trouble swallowing, loss of weight, strokes and cancer. However, IHRC has recently received reports that Imam Jamil has now got a potentially life-threatening growth on the side of his face. He is in desperate need of medical treatment.
