Subsequent to the attacks on the USA in 2001, a climate of fear has been placed over the muslim community in the UK and worldwide. This has had a negative effect upon all muslim communities, through a combination of negative press reports, draconian infringement upon freedom of speech, and legislation being passed in direct contravention of basic human rights laws. As a result, many muslims are serving sentences throughout the world who are suffering immensely due to prejudice, victimisation and a lack of accountability by the imprisoning authorities
We as an organisation intend to change that. We do this by publicising the abuses, miscarriages of justice and ill-treatment experienced by muslim prisoners. We are an entirely self-funded grassroots organisation, and we ask that any donations you wish to send, you send directly to the prisoners listed on this website so that they can buy food, books and items necessary for a muslim behind bars. Inshallah we hope that you read through the stories, feel your heart move and act to address all the issues raised in the campaign packs and alerts. If you wish to help further, please read the "get involved" section. We thank you for taking the time to read this, and inshallah we hope you make today the day you help muslim prisoners.
