COASADOS Legal Defense Committee ... a structure set up by Mama Khandi to assist in her fight against the state's attack against her; she finally tells what happened to her.

My name is Rev. Khandi Konte-Bey (Paasewe). i (intentional lowercase) am affectionately known as Mama Khandi. My bio includes but is not limited to being a multi-talented Afrikan artist of writing poems, plays, essays, commentaries, articles, books, sing in 13 languages, make and play sekere, seamstress, sketch artist and a host of other artistic talents. i graduated college with honors (while multiply disabled [including brain injury] and homeless from a tree that fell on my home during a tornado storm) and am the recipient of a host of academic, activist and artistic awards. i am an original Black Panther Party member from age 13, Garveyite at age 13, MOVE (Family Afrika Supporter), community activist; co-founder of DEC (Determination & Empowerment Collective created to address the rights of food stamp recipients in the Montgomery Country area of Ohio), Pan Afrikanist Congress of Azania member, All Afrikan People's Revolutionary Party member, conscious citizen of the Provisional Government Republic of New Afrika, Wachitaw citizen, delivered all my own children at home, immunized my own children homeopathically, educated my own children and delivered hundreds of babies for sistas at home for over 35 years. i am a certified herbalist and homeopath, mother of 14 children: 6 from my womb (would have been 7 but filthydelphia kkkops beat one out of my womb when they kicked my doors in, came in on horseback and trampled 3 of my daughters while beating me into miscarriage) and 8 adopted, foster parent/tutor and mentor to hundreds of children. i’ve helped build four independent Afrikan schools, was a member of Save Our Land Community Patrol - organization developed to protect the community from police brutality, ideology: Afrikan centered cultural matrix and Pan-Afrikan Internationalist. i am the internet website designer for 92% of the chairpersons for the Million Woman March; Co-chair for the Mid West Region (17 states plus Canada) for the Million Woman March. How did i come into all of this activism of Human Rights? My Ancestors!
Queen Mother Moore, Nana Ansaa, Nana Akosua Tankyiampon and Nalo Talib are greatly responsible for my being involved in the Human Rights struggle as they guided me and supported me when i was focused on issues beyond that of the normal 13-year-old. These influences were my foundation for the woman affectionately known now as Mama Khandi. They guided me with their activism. Queen Mother Moore filed charges against the u. s. a. of genocide. She worked tirelessly for POW’s and political prisoners. Because of her efforts and those of my big sista Nalo, i began supporting the Black Dragon Unit of the Black Liberation Army in Tenna. for 22 years until the release of their Major General Hamisha Halifu Utumwa. This cadre collective crowned me Queen Mother. Hamisha was given a life sentence for fighting back when a white boy attacked and disrespected his mother. It was a challenge to gain access to, for and from these brothas through the penal system. Revolutionaries are treated with much more injustice, harshness and imperialism than the average brotha or sista who is incarcerated. i had to use creative ideas and methods to assist, aid and provide support for these brothas. Thus, gaining my Reverend status, in pertinent part, was a tool for being of service to POW’s and political prisoners.
Mumia Abu Jamal and i grew up together as We use to talk and share ideas, strategies and ideology. He and I were in the Black Panther Party together, attended the same broadcast school and were in Move together. When i would teach my classes in the independent Afrikan school system, i would assign my students to choose a POW to write to for academic credit. Many students chose Mumia. Many chose other brothas and sistas who are POW’s that i am close to like. The list is exhaustive as at one time, i corresponded with as many as 57 POWs at once! The list includes, but is not limited to: Veronza Bowers, Mumia, Sundiata Acoli, Meryl Afrika, Jalil Muntaqim, Zolo Azania, Mutulu Shakur, Ojore Lutalo, Sekou Kambui, Cinque McGee, Russell Maroon Shoats, Albert Woodfox, Ali Khalid Abdullah, Sekou Cinque T.M. Kambui, and many others whose names escape me or are too numerous to mention here. To say this was a challenging undertaking is an understatement at best!
Communicating with these brothas and sistas proved to be a hardship as i would write to them and they would not receive the letters for months at a time. Often they would move brothas and sistas from prison to prison without warning to disrupt and strong hold of elevating the consciousness of the prison population in any location. Once i heard back from Mumia over 9 months after i had written to him. These are the petty tactics the prisons use to break the spirit of those incarcerated. The medical care is laughable if it weren’t life-threateningly UN-funny.
These brothas and sistas informed me of my POW/political prisoner status when i was attacked by the state of ohio and incarcerated in solitary confinement for almost 6 months with no medical care (i’m multiply disabled), almost died (losing over half of my weight). For the first time, i was on the other side of the coin. Not the one providing care but the one in need of care. Like these bold and courageous freedom fighters, i survived without compromise. i refused to plea-bargain, while my skin hung off of my bones with deathly weight loss. Upon my arrest, under fraudulent multiple felonies, i was taken to jail, spat on, hair pulled, head slammed on concrete floor, yanked out of my wheel chair, stripped, taunted, cussed, denied my wheel chair for 5 days, laid in my own urine for 4 days and fed one meal in 24 hours of baloney on white bread with cow’s milk. i did what any respectable vegan/vegetarian would do: i peed on it!
In solitary confinement, i was denied a diabetic diet, food was thrown in the floor and in the trash, commissary was denied, i never saw population and was held in solitary the entire 6 months i was incarcerated, was denied medical care, had my diabetic gluco-reading performed ONCE! It took 3 months to have an attorney assigned to me. Much of my mail was returned to sender, marked, "DOES NOT EXIST". Most of my phone calls were blocked. One time, my daughter, who was 8 months pregnant, on her birthday, waited in line for 2 hours to see her mother for 15 minutes. Another time, when my daughters visited me, they could see the skin hanging off of my bones and knew their mother was dying in jail. To break the ice, my daughter who has always thought of herself as too fat, said, "dang mom, if i knew they had the bomb weigh-loss plan in here, i would have come to jail a long time ago!" That did it! We laughed and were able to visit without tears and sadness.
Long story short, it took THREE YEARS, but i was acquitted of all criminal charges. i lost everything: my home, good name, income, son, medical coverage, subsidies, freedom, health, etc. And presently, for the 4th time since these fraudulent charges were brought against me, i am losing my home that was donated to me! The offer has been rescinded. My diabetic reading, without funds to control it as i had before the state’s attack against me, is around 449! Yes! A Walking Diabetic coma! Any assistance that can be afforded to me would be greatly appreciated.

Mama Khandi case Summary:

1. case originated in JUVENILE COURT, state agency reps files a FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION motion which was the trigger for me to file my civil court case based on their FRAUD, signed by agency reps, filed one day AFTER (Jan, 3, 2002) my son is removed from my home Jan, 2, 2002; no court order or warrant is ever produced (i found out almost a year later as i sat in solitary confinement, under criminal charges, reading the motion of discovery, that an arrest card was issued for my son but no warrant or court order appeared for him or i); i am accused of Abuse, Neglect and Dependency; no evidence against me is never filed in the court.

(a). during the case, the court accused me of not educating my son nor immunizing him; i file documents directly to the court record (filing room) in direct opposition to the accusations; court demands a psych eval that ended up being in my favor and was therefore not used in the court trial. The court appointed an attorney who was inept and did nothing to assist me
(b) my son's, juvenile court ordered “guardian ad litem” requests discovery” - 5-20-02
(c). sperm donor files fraudulent motion – Jun 12, 02
(d). the juvenile case proceeds without me as i am arrested without court order or warrant June 13, 02, on criminal felony charges of KIDNAPPING, OBDUCTION AND CHILD ENDANGERMENT

2.CRMIINAL COURT – i was not assigned an attorney for 3 months and sat in solitary confinement (6 months) without diabetic care, nor brain injury care or physcial therapy, laying in my own urine for 5 days, denied my wheel chair, denied food on occasions, lost HALF MY WEIGHT (76 lbs) and almost died, calls denied, books denied, dental care denied (tmj cause total tooth loss), and released on house arrest for ONE YEAR. Original bond was $850,000 while another woman with a double murder charge had only $100,000 bond... .i refused to let folks donate towards $850,000, i opted to die first... my sista in philly put her house up as calateral but the court said that they don't accept out of town calateral... the mental health clinic i am a client at, told the court if they didn't release me, i would be dead in 6 months.... Bond was then lowered to $120,000 and then to $20,000. The bond money at $20,000 was raised in 1 hour.. i was released into the custody of one of my daughters, who posted my bond raised from donations and placed on house arrest in her home for a year... the original criminal court appointed attorney was inept... i requested another attorney. He was much better, as attorneys go... During the criminal court case i filed, with my attorney's knowledge, a Motion to Dismiss the Indictment for Violation of the Speedy Trial Act: Omnibus Motion which included establishing my STATUS as Muur Wa +!@#$ aw which also was mentioned in the court by the judge when the 2nd and 3rd psych evals were ordered and my status was discussed by the psychiatrist's report to the court. His research found my STATUS to be legitimate. My second court appointed attorney filed various documents including but not exclusive to: Request for Discovery – (which the district attorney only gave him 1/3 of the document) and i warned my attorney of what the pro-se-cutor did; Bill of Particulars. Almost 2 years later, the jury finds me NOT GUILTY of all charges but hung on the 3rd, 10 to 2 in my favor. Almost 3 months after their decision, the judge finally ruled in her judgment entry, not guilty with full acquittal March 24, 04. i then esponged my record. Note: i lost everything: almost my life, home, son, good name, income, freedom, subsidies, medical coverage, and all support for my living.

3.CIVIL COURT suit – a duplicate Motion was filed in civil court and juvenile court on the same day of FRAUD – filed Feb 25, 2005. The juvenile court totally ignored me, even up this very day. The civil court kept me in limbo, with prosecutor filing all types of motions against me and finally after about a ye
