VOD is re-publishing the article below from The Washington Informer, a history of Imam Jamil-Al-Amin/H.Rap Brown’s life and his heroic contributions to the peoples’ struggle.

Iman Luqman Abdullah was a member of Jamil Al-Amin’s national network, targeted and killed by the USDOJ/FBI and the Detroit and Dearborn Police Depts. on October 28, 2009. Members of his mosque were lured to a Dearborn warehouse and brutally ambushed to silence their peaceful struggle for justice.
We also pay tribute to all those still serving life without parole or virtual life sentences, many for decades, who need our support as they fight this brutal, inhuman practice which consigns them to prison until they die, as Imam Jamil Al-Amin did after 23 years, for a crime he did not commit.
