THREAD: My UNK Jalil Muntaqim, who is a former Black Panther and one of the longest held political prisoners in the country was rushed to Albany Medical Center from Sullivan Correction Facility due to complications from COVID-19. This is a humanitarian crisis.

On April 27th, 2020, Hon. S. Schick in Sullivan County granted Mr. Muntaqim’s release. However AG @TishJames appealed the judges decision which has consequently led to Jalil being infected with COVID-19. He is fighting for his life inside Albany Medical Center.

Because he is incarcerated, my family can’t get timely updates or make sure he is getting adequate health care.

This all could have been prevented if @TishJames didn’t appeal the Hon. S. Shick’s decision to release Jalil. Jalil had the highest risk possible because he is elderly + preexisting respiratory conditions. Jalil also scores the lowest risk on the DOCCS’s COMPAS.

This Thursday a Writ of Habeas Corpus will be presented to @TishJames. Tish do the write thing and grant Anthony Bottom (Jalil Muntaqim) release. You claim to be the people’s lawyer. If that’s true, release Anthony Bottom. Enough is enough. @NYGovCuomo release Anthony Bottom now

I will be posting more action items in the coming hours. Please turn my tweet notifications on. I need everyone’s help.
