November 23, 2025 — Atlanta, Georgia — The family of Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown) announces with profound sorrow that he passed away today while in federal custody at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina.
Imam Jamil Al-Amin, a global human rights voice, former SNCC chairman, former Black Panther Party Minister of Justice, and longtime community spiritual guide, died after a prolonged period of severe medical decline. His family, legal team, and advocates had been urgently requesting judicial intervention due to his failing health and need to correct a grave injustice.
For decades, questions have surrounded the fairness of his trial. Newly uncovered evidence—including previously unseen FBI surveillance files, inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts, and third-party confessions—raised serious concerns that Imam Al-Amin did not receive the fair trial guaranteed under the Constitution. My deepest condolences to the family of H. Rap Brown
