Freed from Prison but Not Yet Free
My name is Ali Khalid Abdullah and I was released from prison on August 1, 2008. Since my release I have lived very hard and have had a lot of disappointments both from myself and the greater revolutionary / activist community. I want to stress that it is not easy being out here after 19 years of incarceration. It is not easy trying to find your way in a world that has radically changed and you literally question whether or not you are still relevant for anyone or anything.
However, I am here to say that I am still fighting and that I will not end this fight. It has taken me a little longer to get adjusted than most but I am coming along and will be lending my voice to the struggle just as I had done all the years of my incarceration. I also want to say that, we need to fight for our beloved brothers and sisters who are on death row and longed down in prison kamps. WE cannot forget them and we must not allow the system to act as if they do not exist. Siddique Abdullah Hasan is one example of someone whom we cannot forget. He is my brother, both in religion and in struggle and he deserves all the help he can get, just like Mumia and many others. We need to fight for the Lucasville Five, the Angola 3, the San Francisco 8 and a host of others too long of a list to name here.
Meantime, if anyone wishes to contact me they can do so as follows: Email: alikabdul@yahoo.com; Phone: (317) 701-0465.I could use your generous and most respectful help. In the trenches...Ali Khalid Abdullah .

Who is Ali Khalid Abdullah?
Solidarity with Ali Khalid Abdullah!
Ali Khalid Abdullah is a New Afrikan (Black) man whose political beliefs are those of an anarchist. He is the founder of the political organization Political Prisoners of War Coalition (PPWC) which he established in 1994/95 while sitting at the Charles Egeler Correctional Facility in Jackson, Michigan USA.
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-oold 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 is 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 raged 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, 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.
