Ali Al-Tamimi (also Ali Al-Timimi; born December 14, 1963) is an American computational biologist and Islamic teacher from Fairfax County, Virginia, who was convicted of soliciting treason and attempting to contribute services to the Taliban based on comments he is alleged to have made to a group of followers at a private dinner shortly after 9/11.[1][2][3][4] He was subsequently sentenced to life in prison in 2005. His direct appeal has not yet completed and has been pending for more than eighteen years. Al-Timimi was held in solitary confinement for more than fifteen years including over a decade under special administrative measures at the maximum security United States Penitentiary ADX Florence, Colorado. In August 2020, the district court ordered his conditional release into home confinement pending appeal after concluding that his case raised substantial legal issues.[5][6]
