Saadiqah--Hasan's Wife
Saadiqah Amatullah Hasan is an up-and-coming, self-motivated and dynamic activist who is aspiring to follow in the footsteps of General Harriet Tubman, and Ida B. Wells who built the mass anti-lynching campaign. Saadiqah works in Ohio with the Campaign to End the Death Penalty while supporting and increasing awareness on her husband’s case, Siddique Abdullah Hasan. Hasan is on death row as a result of the 1993 prison rebellion which rocked the maximum-security prison in Lucasville, Ohio. Hasan was in an honor block area of the prison and less then one year from going before the parole board when the chaos at Lucasville occurred. His dominant and unyielding leadership qualities as the Imam of the Sunni Muslims at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility allowed for him to be the prime target of the State’s indiscretion and massive injustices leading to his wrongful conviction--an erroneous conviction has Hasan, Saadiqah and several activists fighting to save his life and fighting for his rightful freedom back into society and home to his family.
