BISMILLAH Dear Brother Said, Thankyou for your kind wishes. Herbert is a Muslim, he has been for many years. His faith keeps him strong! Allah is extremely important to both of us. The block Herbert's on , on death row, has many Muslim inhabitants. Herbert's black and i'm white and we have both had to tolerate several racist / anti Islamic remarks. Complaining only makes it worse. Herbert is innocent, he doesn't deserve this but we also know that Allah will deliver us from this situation when the time's right. Herbert was a muslim long before this all happened ! May Allah bless you! Linda

A short time ago some of you were kind enough to sign a petition for my Fiance , Herbert J.Blakeney. I just wanted to up date you all and ask you to pray for him! Herbert is an innocent Muslim on Death row for a crime committed by a Police Officer. Recently Herbert filed a perjury case against the witnesses in his Criminal case, ie. the cops. He was then appointed the same counsel he'd had in his original trial so he appealed to the Attorney General to stand down that counsel and appoint another. This was denied! Three times in recent months we've been advised to DROP the perjury case as it's ' a fast track to his execution!' WHY? What are 'they' afraid of? 'They' know we can't afford the Attorney we need to unravel Herberts case and 'they' know the perjury case would prove Herberts innocence!! Even though we know the perjury case would secure his innocence, how can we take the risk 'they'll' execute him to keep the truth from coming out?? We're in a no win situation!!! This is so wrong. Herbert is INNOCENT yet 'they'll' execute an innocent man to save themselves. Where's the justice? So please pray for a miracle Insha-allah. Just something else i'd like to share with the group......I'm taking my SHAHADAH today!!! Thankyou for reading this.
