SAVE THURSDAY NOVEMBER 12TH FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE LETTERS, CALLING FOR A CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION OF MUMIA'S CASE, TO ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER!!!
11 AM PRESS CONFERENCE
1 PM DELIVERY OF LETTERS TO JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
AT THIS CRITICAL MOMENT IN MUMIA'S CASE, ACIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION COULD MEANTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH FOR HIM.IT COULD ALSO OPEN THE DOOR FOR MUMIA'S ULTIMATERELEASE.
There is right nowa very dangerous converging of forces committed to the execution of Mumia. Lynne Abraham, the current District Attorney in Philadelphia, is calling loudly for the Supreme Court to reinstate Mumia's death sentence so that Governor Ed Rendell can do what he has repeatedly promised to do: sign the death warrant. The US Supreme Court is currently reviewing a death penalty case that could have serious implications for Mumia. A ruling on Mumia's case could come anytime.
To cover up the obscenityof their trying to murder an innocent Black man, a great thinker and revolutionary, they now have a Black man, Seth Williams,leading the race for those running to replace DA Abraham. Williams, who is expected to be the next DA of Philadelphia,hasstated that he believes Mumia is guilty and should be executed. Heis being actively supported by the Fraternal Order of Police.
Finally,on December 9th, the 28th anniversary of the original incident that led to Mumia's incarceration and death sentence, a new film, a hit-piece, called "The Barrel of a Gun" also produced by a Black man, willpremiere both in the US and Germany.
