All Out on April 19th—International Day of Protest

Free Mumia!

On 27 March, the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of upholding the frame-up conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal. In turning down Mumia’s appeal for a new trial, the Court ordered a new sentencing hearing to decide whether he is again to be sentenced to die or condemned to the living death of life in prison.

With this horrendously unjust ruling the courts signaled that for Mumia, a former Black Panther, MOVE supporter and eloquent “voice of the voiceless,” proof of innocence is not legally admissible. The evidence is clear: Mumia is the innocent victim of a racist, politically-motivated frame-up. On April 19th there will be a mass demonstration in Philadelphia to demand Mumia’s freedom, with supporting demonstrations in cities around the world. All out for Mumia on April 19th!
