The Oregon Department of Corrections appears to have effectively disappeared Malik Muhammad, a Black Palestinian anarchist and antifascist prisoner serving one of the longest sentences handed to a protester after the 2020 George Floyd uprising.
According to court documents, Muhammad threw a Molotov cocktail at police in Oregon in 2020. In 2022, they pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and received a concurrent 10-year federal and state sentence in Oregon State Prison.
On Monday, March 30, 2026, members of Muhammad’s support team noticed something alarming: their profile had vanished from the prison messaging system GettingOut. Around the same time, their name no longer appeared in Oregon’s inmate search database. This disappearance happened in the wake of a call-in campaign to once again get Muhammad out of solitary confinement.
Since then, family and supporters have been scrambling for answers, calling Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution (EOCI) and multiple Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) offices. They’ve gotten almost nothing in return.
WWFU has also made dozens of calls across the Oregon prison system in an attempt to locate them and have been unsuccessful in getting any of our questions answered.
