FREE MUMIA
Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!
Toronto Emergency Protest, Friday, March 28, 6:00 p.m.
Across the street from the U.S. Consulate, 360 University Ave., between Dundas (St. Patrick station) and Queen (Osgoode station).
(416) 593-4138
A statement by the Partisan Defense Committee, issued Thursday, March 27, 2008:
“Today the Third Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision upholding Mumia Abu-Jamal’s frame-up conviction. 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.
The Court’s decision is another slap in the face to all opponents of racist injustice. Recalling the infamous Dred Scott decision, the Court has again declared that a fighter for black freedom like Mumia has no rights that the courts are bound to respect. A former Black Panther Party spokesman, MOVE supporter and renowned journalist, Mumia is an innocent man, framed up for his political beliefs. He should never have spent a day in prison. There must be mass protests, centered on labor’s power, to demand his freedom now.
The PDC and Labor Black Leagues have called protests for tomorrow in different cities. For more information: www.partisandefense.org.”
