Greetings Community of Truth and Justice,
Greatly appreciate you all spreading the word about the following action alert and supporting Shifa Sadequee!
Thank you.
ACTION ALERT!
April
17 will mark the 7 year anniversary of unjust imprisonment of Shifa
Sadequee. He is currently serving his 17-year sentence in a “secret” US
political prison (Terre Haute, IN) for crimes he did not commit. In
April 2006, the FBI commanded the Bangladeshi military to kidnap Shifa
12 days after his wedding and held him captive in an undisclosed
location. He went missing in action for days and brought back to New
York City in a “secret” CIA rendition aircraft.
A
US citizen by birth, Shifa was tortured in pre-trial solitary
confinement for over 1,300 days and subjected to prison violence in the
Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. The US targeted Shifa for translating and
publishing ancient Arabic-Islamic scholarly writings, working on a
website and speaking out against US violence abroad. He was targeted
for political speech and activism.
In
their attempt to intimidate Shifa, the FBI-US Government led
an unconstitutional terror campaign against his family and community
through its surveillance tools, fear tactics and corporate media to
isolate and silence them from the world. The government’s terror
agencies, including the US Secret Services, harassed the family in an attempt to mute and scare them away from sharing their truth with the world.
In
his self-representation at his trial in 2009, Shifa challenged the
imperial-government’s narrative of his case and the Atlanta Federal
Court and exposed the fabricated charges and mechanisms of the US-empire
building projects of the War on Terror against Muslims and the global
community.
The US
continues to bar Shifa’s speech and interactions with his family and
the outside world in its control unit for political prisoners known as
the "Communication Management Unit” in Terre Haute, Indiana. However,
Shifa’s family continues to fight for him and challenge the narrative of
the state and the injustices of its terror campaigns on communities of
color and immigrants.
· We remember Shifa for his courage, resiliency and speaking truth to power!
· We
remember him for choosing to speak up and giving voice to many others
whose voice have been erased and wrongfully taken away and silenced
by the Imperial US-Legal System.
· We
remember him for giving us courage to break the silence and strength
for collective resiliency to strive toward transforming state and
community violence.
Shifa is missed and loved by his family and community. Stand in solidarity with Shifa’s family and take a moment to write to Shifa or send him a post card for giving us the courage to speak out against fear and oppression.
Show your love for justice!
Write to Shifa!
