Title: Support Ali Khalid Abdullah Bid
for Parole and Successful Re-Entry
Time
Frame: 1 Month
Plan of Action: Send letters of support for
Brother Ali Khalid Abdullah to the Michigan Parole Board.. This
brother has been locked down since 1990, and was denied parole
in 1996 for dubious reasons. Abdullah was
convicted for his role in bringing community justice to drug dealers,
gang members and a chid rapist.
Purpose of Action: As a prisoner
of conscience who has developed self-help programs for other
residents during his detainment at various state prisons in Michigan,
as well as kept his mind sharp and his spirit healthy and strong
during his detainment, Brother Ali Khalid Abdullah has more than
paid his debt to society by serving out his sentence, for which
he should have been paroled in 1996 but was denied. To date,
he has served more than the 10-year minimum his sentence called
for, and we must band together to call for his non-parole release,
which will be in the next 19 months, with nothing owed to the
state, provided that the Michigan Parole Board finds reason for
him to merit release. Again, he meets with the Parole Board this
month..
Ali Khalid Abdullah BIO
Ali is in prison for the charge of "Assault with Intent to
Rob while Armed". He was convicted to
10 to 20 years for his involvement in trying
to shut down a major drug dealer because one of the drug dealer's drug sellers sexually
molested an 11-year-old girl as payment for the drug bill owed
by the girl's mother. As
a result of finding this out, Ali and three of his comrades went
to take people's justice out on the drug dealer and his companion
by going after their phony business where volumes of drugs were
distributed and large stashes of money were held and transferred.
For his actions, the courts felt he acted a vigilante for taking
the law into his own hands - the hands of The People where it belonged-
rather than allowing the state to do nothing.
Since Ali has been incarcerated, he has continued to fight for
the people. He has continued to struggle for liberation and justice
for all people. However, as a result of his political activities,
Ali has met much repression from prison authorities. This has ranged
from being constantly transferred from facility to facility, mail
rejected and tampered with, property damaged by corrections officials
and an attempt on his life by other prisoners. This was based on
a bogus story put out by prison officials, hoping this would stop
Ali's political attacks of them. Ali has been up for parole since
1996 with a recent parole hearing in February 2000 and each time,
they have denied him parole for unsubstantiated reasons.
Ali, through PPWC (Political Prisoners of War Coalition), has
developed a powerful network where revolutionaries, activists and
socially conscious individuals have come together from all walks
of life... bridging the barriers of language, distance and borders
to defend truth and to fight for freedom.

Brother Ali writes and distributes pamphlets through two
distribution companies, and relies on donations for the pamphlets
to obtain basic necessities such as postage and other provisions.
It would be helpful if we could make small donations and
order his pamphlets, even if just one, as this will also
likely constitute one of his small streams of income once
he is released. These pamphlets can be obtained through the
following:
