==================

Former Black Panther Party member and political prisoner Kamau Sadiki (Freddie Hilton) will appear in Judge Stephanie Manis courtroom on Monday, April 6, 2009 at 9:30 am. Sadiki is seeking a re-trial on a murder conviction in 2003. Atlanta Police had closed a case of the 1971 killing of an Atlanta police officer. In 1999, the FBI in pursuit of collaboration in their attempts to recapture Assata Shakur, a political exile in Cuba, threatened Sadiki with life in prison if he did not assist them. When Sadiki did not comply the FBI convinced Atlanta police to re-open the case and charge Sadiki. The FBI assisted the Atlanta police and prosecutors in manufacturing witnesses (none who actually saw the shooting) against Sadiki. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison 32 years after the incident.

Please come to court and show Brother Sadiki moral support. Judge Manis court is at the Fulton County Superior Court Building, 136 Pryor Street, SW Fulton County Courthouse Suite C-874 / Courtroom 8J Atlanta, Georgia (30303).

Did anyone attend the hearing? Please update those of us not in Atlanta. I tried to email the contact email, mxgrm_atl@hotmail.com, and it bounces back. I would like to contact the "Friends & Family of Kamau Sadiki" and help publicize his case a lot deeper.

Thank you.

Peace, that's an old posting, i'm not sure what happened there. My only suggestion to contact "Friends & Family" would be via the MXGM website at The Malcolm X Grassroots Movement - Home, since the e-mail is bouncing.

Below is the most recent post for his court hearing tomorrow, thanks for your note! Hopefully someone here will attend and provide feedback, or will post an update whenever one is sent out.
