AN EVENING OF INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY WITH MUMIA ABU-JAMAL

EVENING OF INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY AND ACTION WITH MUMIA ABU-JAMAL

The Fraternal Order of Police and their collaborators in the media and among politicians have been on the rampage since the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that there were two issues Mumia could appeal on that might lead to a new trial. These forces insist that Mumia should have no right to appeal. They attack all those who support Mumia's innocence or even his right to a new trial. The naming of a street after Mumia in Saint-Denis, France has only fueled their rage, and they are now demanding that Saint-Denis and France UNname rue Mumia Abu-Jamal. House Resolution 407, which embodies these demands, was supported unanimously by the City Council of Philadelphia. The FOP has a long history of intimidating witnesses for and supporters of Mumia. Once again, it is hoping to completely silence the international movement. In the face of this venom, we resist on every level and in every way, determined to win Mumia's freedom.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR MUMIA AND THE RECENT NAMING OF "RUE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL"!
