The Issue

Miss Bonnie who is the sister of Emanuel Redding who is also known as Sheikh Ali is a cherished community leader, entrepreneur, mother and neighbor. Her brother has been locked up for almost 50 years and this is HEINOUS for ANYONE who has NOT KILLED ANYONE to be imprisoned for this long.

Sheikh Ali (known by the Department of corrections in NJ as SBI#01673871 & in DE as SBI#00092507) had a hearing before the Parole Board on Election Day (Tuesday, November 8th 2022) THAT WAS CANCELED AND NO MAKEUP DAY WAS ASSIGNED. He is a senior citizen of poor health who has suffered THREE heart attacks and 2 strokes and WAS bound to a wheelchair DUE TO MEDICATIONS THAT LIMITED HIS STRENGTH SO MUCH SO THAT HE COULD NOT STAND OR WALK. HE NOW USES A CANE.

Sheikh Ali (Emanuel Redding) as I have been told by MANY elder Wilmingtonians is a powerful figure and Miss Bonnie was the first to state to me that he is a Political Prisoner. Delaware incarcerates far too many poor Black men disproportionately--- so many that the state has to ship people it keeps imprisoned to surrounding states like NJ, PA & MD!

I'm not going to get into the staggering statistics but you can do your own research on the amount of seniors (specifically Black men) locked up today from Wilmington, Delaware. He has been locked up for nearly 50 years and he didn't kill or rape anyone. Please sign to help us to Decarcerate Delaware. Thank you.
