Targeted by the FBI to work as an informant.
Framed by police to force him to comply. Facing 15 years for keeping his dignity.

Ayyub Abdul-Alim is a community member, business owner, and father in Springfield, MA who was targeted by the FBI to work as an informant. Ayyub was arrested on a fabricated weapons charge by the Springfield Police Department in collaboration with the FBI in December of 2011. The FBI offered Ayyub exoneration of the charges - only if he agreed to become an informant to spy on the Muslim community. Ayyub refused, and is currently facing the possibility of 15 years in prison. He has been held at Hampden County Correctional Facility for 2 years awaiting his trial.

"In December of 2011, I was targeted and arrested on a fabricated weapons charge less than five minutes after closing my store, Natures Garden by the Springfield Police Department in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). I have been incarcerated against my will at the Hampden House of Corrections for approximately two years pending trial – despite the fact that I have police recordings revealing I was searched and cleared of any weapons and then forcibly strip searched and probed sexually in view of the public. Most importantly, I have been offered exoneration of the aforementioned fabricated charges, prior to being arraigned in Springfield Court, at the Springfield police station (by the FBI and Springfield police) – only if I agreed to become an informant against my will to spy on the Muslim community."--Ayyub Abdul Alim
