To all the participants in the "Free Mumia" campaign: from the Solidarity with the Peoples Movement (MSP) of Peru

Friends in the United States and the world: Greetings and solidarity from Peru. In the name of the Solidarity with the Peoples Movement (MSP), we express our solidarity with Mumia Abu-Jamal, all his family and all the North American peoples, in particular the African Americans and all the minorities marginalized by racism and the exclusion of the system.

The MSP joins the campaign for the freedom of Mumia Abu-Jamal and the efforts to win a new trial, with an impartial jury that will consider all the factors proving the innocence of Mumia, unjustly condemned to death.

The MSP has the special charge of joining this campaign along with its honorary and active associates, in particular Dr. Rolando Breņa, member of Congress of the Republic of Peru, and its adherent associates, the leaderships of the national unions SUTEP (teachers), FENUTSA (health workers), FETIMP (metal workers), SUTEELECTROLIMA (electrical workers), COMTELTP (phone workers), FEP (students), doctors, peasants, and other sectors of the Peruvian people that reject racism and racial superiority.

In these moments of pain for the North American people, in particular for the Latino communities and others effected by the massacre in Colorado, when the North American people have to put up with the lies of the federal government to justify its cowardly aggression against Yugoslavia and all the racist elements against the people of the world, reflected in actions like the one mentioned and the attacks on African Americans, Latinos and others. The people of the world unite ourselves and say ENOUGH!

In Peru we are carrying out a National Civic Strike on April 28, where we will be protesting against the Fujimori dictatorship and his attempted illegal re-election, and against the neoliberal policies imposed by the IMF and the World Bank at the behest of imperialism. For this reason it will not be possible for us to carry out a special action for Compaņero Mumia. We will be distributing a leaflet about the campaign.

In solidarity,
For the Leadership Board,
Gerardo Benavides
President, MSP
