Florida Family Association (FFA) now has direct evidence that officials with the Tampa Police Department are intimidated by the possible involvement of religious creed in the death of the Palestinian woman named Fatima Abdallah.  

The Tampa Police Department claims that Fatima Abdallah killed herself by repeatedly beating her head against a coffee table.   FFA and numerous other organizations call that assertion preposterous.  Florida Family Association contends that Fatima Abdallah died as the result of an honor killing and not an accident.  Florida Family Association’s full report on the mishandling of the death of Fatimah Abdallah is posted here at Floridafamily.org       

Tampa Police Crime Scene Technician Shelby Garman called Florida Family Association’s private investigator on July 26, 2011 to request that her name be removed from the Tampa Police Department GO report posted at Floridafamily.org because of “fear of Muslim reprisal.”  Click here to read our private investigator’s report.

Florida Family Association wanted more documentation to support our private investigator’s report so we sent an email to Shelby Garman.  When Florida Family Association asked Shelby Garman by email to confirm her request she did.  Click here to read her reply and email property validation information that documents she sent the email from the Tampa Police Department.  

This Crime Scene Technician’s statement and request verifies what Florida Family Association has alleged all along that the Tampa Police Department and/or the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Office were intimidated by the possible involvement of religious creed in the death of Fatimah Abdallah.  It appears that some officials feared Muslim reprisal, feared media attention if the case became public and therefore decided to promptly call this violent death an accident without any further investigation beyond the incident date.

If law enforcement agencies are unwilling to properly investigate and bring charges in violent crimes that may have been perpetuated by religious creeds it will undermine our public safety and severely change our value system.  

Florida Family Association sent this letter asking Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the  mishandling of this death investigation by the Tampa Police Department and Hillsborough County Medical Examiner.
