Omar Mohammedi, Esq.

A Salaam -O- Alaikum Brothers and Sisters:
My name is Omar Mohammedi and I am one of the lawyers representing the
parents of Amadou Diallo.
On April 18, 2000, We filed the complaint against the City of New York
and its police officers it employs. The statute of limitation, which will
expire on May 4, 2000, necessitated that we pursue our civil suit.
Brothers and sisters, our main focus, however, is to convince the
department of justice to charge the police officers under the federal civil
rights violation.
We should not forget that damages in the civil suit will not bring
justice to Amadou Diallo. Justice should serve as a precedent.
I thank Allah for giving me the opportunity to serve the estate of
Amadou
Diallo. I have a mission. My mission is to set a legal precedent and afford
legal protection to minorities. Officers acting under the color of sate
law should serve and protect not abuse and humiliate. Amadou Diallo was
humiliated and his basic right to life was taken without justification.
Allah may bless you all.
Omar T. Mohammedi
