Verily, Allâh enjoins Justice and Correctness, and helping kith and kin and forbids lewd acts and all kinds of evil deed and oppression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed. (An-Nahl: 90)

Write to the Muslims incarcerated in UK without charge

There are a number of brothers detained in prisons across the UK without trial or charge, who are subject - along with their families - to the mental torture of never knowing if, or when they will be released. Support your Muslim brothers by writing to them and offering support and reminders for them at the contact addresses provided below. The letters can be as short as a paragraph, preferably written in your own handwriting as it is more personal, or if you do not have time to write a letter, you can buy a set of 'Thinking of You' cards. The content of the letters should be encouraging them to be patient, reminding them to have hope and that they have not been forgotten. This should not take more than half an hour and should not cost you more than £3. However, it may give hope to a prisoner for whom half an hour is like half a year.

If you have included your name and address (preferably a stamped addressed envelope) it is probable that the prisoners will write back to you and you can find out exactly what their situation is like inside. If you still prefer not to leave your name and address, then please write to them anyway.

Money does reach the prisoners but it should only be sent by Special Delivery. Prisoners can buy extra food and personal items with money. Please ensure that the prisoner addresses are written exactly as they appear below.

Mamdouh Abu Rideh

Please also write to Mamdouh Abu Rideh who will be spending his fourth Eid in prison. Mamdouh Abu Rideh was diagnosed as suffering from severe post traumatic stress disorder, having been tortured in Israel and his imprisonment in Belmarsh has triggered flashbacks. He was transferred to Broadmoor high security psychiatric hospital but experts believe he should be placed near his family at a hospital with less oppressive security measures. The Home Office, accused of “unprecedented political interference” by the doctors of Broadmoor, has ignored this advice. Abu Rideh tries to harm himself  with pens, plastic anything he can find, setting himself on fire, drinking  toilet cleaner, dozens of scars up and down his arms. He says of his time in British custody: “What I have been through in this place is worse than when I was detained in Israel when I was tortured. They have destroyed me.”
