    (Court TV) —



    Hundreds of fans from around the world will be on hand for Michael Jackson's arraignment Friday to support the pop icon facing child molestation charges, his brother, Jermaine, and other supporters said Monday in Encino, Calif.


    "We feel the district attorney has a personal vendetta against Michael, and we want to make sure he knows we will not accept that," said Najee Ali, one of the coordinators of the "Caravan of Love," which will transport fans from southern California and Las Vegas to the courthouse in Santa Maria.


    Thanking the public for its support outside the Jackson family's mansion, Jermaine Jackson said, "My brother is innocent, 1,000-percent innocent."


    He said the entire Jackson family was grateful to his fans.


    "It is a true testament to Michael and his messages of love and inclusion that so many people of diverse backgrounds are traveling from around the globe to support him," he said.


    Jackson, 45, is accused of seven counts of performing lewd and lascivious acts on a child and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent. His lawyer has called the charges "a big lie" motivated by money.


    Ali said buses for the caravan were donated by wealthy Jackson fans who wished to remain anonymous and were not paid for by the Jackson camp, nor the Nation of Islam, whose members have been reported to be advising the singer.


    "The Nation of Islam is strictly doing security for Michael Jackson," said Ali, the executive director of Project Islamic Hope.
