======
Mumia Abu-Jamal is innocent. He’s spent over 28 years on death row after being unjustly convicted. Mumia was framed because he exposed police brutality as a radio journalist and for helping to found the Philadelphia chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1969.
The real criminals are the FBI and cops, who bombed theMOVE house on May 13, 1985, burning to death six adults and five children. The MOVE 9 are innocent political prisoners who must be released.
A “Tea Party” majority on the U.S. Supreme Court has virtually ordered the Federal Appeals Court to reinstate Mumia’s death sentence. Don’t let the bigots lynch Mumia Abu-Jamal. Show the Federal Appeals Court that we demand justice. Mumia must not die!

11/8 - PHILADELPHIA DEBATE!!
THE FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL IS TRAVELING TO PHILLY FOR THIS DEBATE ... YES, THE NIGHT BEFORE THE US THIRD CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS WILL BE HOLDING HEARINGS ON WHETHER MUMIA SHOULD BE RESENTENCED TO EXECUTION OR BE GIVEN LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT PAROLE! JOIN US FOR THIS HISTORIC EVENT IN PHILADELPHIA WHERE OUR BRILLIANT, STRONG, AND COMMITTED REPRESENTATIVES, ATTORNEY MICHAEL COARD AND PROFESSOR JOHANNA FERNANDEZ, WILL BE TAKING ON THE ENEMY -- PROSECUTOR SETH WILLIAMS AND FILM MAKER TIGRE HILL. CALL US FOR TICKETS AND TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS. ONA MOVE!
Mon, Nov 8 2010, 6:30p.m. - 9:30p.m.
National Constitution Center - Kirby Auditorium - 6th & Arch, Philadelphia
While we would usually never ask people to shell out cash to see Tigre Hill's documercial "The Barrel of a Gun" financed by the Philadelphia FOP to promote their line on Mumia's case, this screening will be followed by a debate between Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams and attorney/activist Michael Coard as well as a debate between Hill and Professor Johanna Fernandez, producer of the new documentary Justice for Mumia.
We want as many supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal in the hall who can make it to support Attorney Coard and to make sure the truth get's out.
Tigre Hill asserts the December 1981 shooting of Police Officer Daniel Faulkner was premeditated despite ample evidence to the contrary. The premise of Hill's film is a rehash of the same arguments used by Michael Smerconish and Maureen Faulkner in their book, and also the same theme raised in the sentencing phase of Mumia's 1982 hearing by the prosecutor which will be central to Mumia's appeals hearing before the Third Circuit Court on Tuesday, November 9.
Lynn Doyle, Emmy award winning host of the Comcast Network’s “It’s Your Call” will moderate the discussion.
This showing of “The Barrel of a Gun” and subsequent dialogue between Williams and Coard are purposely planned a day prior to the arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit for a new sentence hearing for Mumia Abu-Jamal. On January 19, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated a federal appeals court ruling that threw out Abu-Jamal's death sentence because of a confusingly worded verdict instruction that arguably led the jury to a sentence of death over life in prison.
Let's pack the house with Mumia support! We have been able to purchase blocks of tickets at $13 each so we can make sure Mumia supporters are in the audience, and not just the FOP. If you want to purchase one of these tickets, please contact International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal at 215-476-8812.

11/8 - WASHINGTON D.C.
FILM SCREENING
Monday, November 8 · 7:00pm - 10:00pm
Location : Ras Restaurant & Cafe 4809 Georgia AveWashington, DC Created By : Black August Planning Organization
Justice on Trial navigates the tempest of the Abu-Jamal trial by reviewing the known facts of the case. It demonstrates that the major violations in the Abu-Jamal case -- judicial bias, prosecutorial misconduct, racial discrimination in jury selection, police corruption and tampering with evidence to obtain a conviction-- are not special to this case. Instead, they are commonly practiced within the criminal justice system and account for the disproportionate incarceration of African Americans and Latinos in the United States. The case of Mumia Abu-Jamal is a microcosm of greater problems in the criminal justice system in the United States today. The attention that its many violations have received make the Abu-Jamal case one of the most important civil rights cases of our time.
ALL OUT FOR MUMIA IN PHILLY ON NOVEMBER 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUMIA ABU-JAMAL faces his likely last court hearing on November 9th, 2010, at the Third Circuit Federal Court of Appeals, in Philadelphia. The US Supreme Court has already thrown out Mumia's last appeal against his kangaroo-court conviction before a racist judge in 1982. Now, the Third Circuit is to decide between reinstatement of Mumia's death sentence, or life in prison without the possibility of parole. These are the only two possible outcomes in the courts at this time. We have no confidence in the corrupt, racist US court system!

==================================
PRESS RELEASE…PRESS RELEASE…PRESS RELEASE
Mumia Abu Jamal is innocent! Release him now! Hundreds of concerned people are expected to join a protest on Tuesday 9th November 2010 between 4pm and 7pm outside the US Embassy in London. The protest will be in support of one of Afrika’s most celebrated sons Mumia Abu Jamal, arguably the most famous death row prisoner in the world. Mumia was convicted of murder on the basis of evidence that Amnesty International seriously questioned. Whilst the protest is raging, Mumia will face his final hearing to decide whether he is executed or imprisoned for life. He has no other options - every other available legal avenue of appeal has been exhausted.
The UK gathering will form part of a growing worldwide movement and will coincide with protests in France, Germany, Holland, Jamaica, the US, Canada and even Iran. More and more international notifications are coming forward as we approach the hearing date. A broad range of Afrikan and other grassroots community organisations will also be giving messages of solidarity to Mumia via the ‘Free Mumia Abu Jamal Campaign’ in the UK. Solidarity messages from around the world will also be read out.
The evidence pointing to Mumia’s innocence is so persuasive that in addition to attending the protest, organisers are urging concerned members of the public to fill in online petitions to: (i) US President Barak Obama (www.mumialegal.org) and; (ii) US Attorney General Eric Holder (www.freemumia.com). People in pursuit of truth and justice are also asked to ring Eric Holder’s office on 001-202-353-1555 or 001-202-514-2000 or write to him at: FMAJC, PO Box 16, College Station, New York, NY 10030 or webmaster@usdoj.go,asking for a ‘Civil Rights Investigation’ into Mumia’s case. Media Enquiries: Omowale - Free Mumia Now Campaign on 07960 854 311 or omowalerpt@yahoo.co.uk
Editor’s Notes:
1. The Free Mumia Demonstration: London will be held on Tuesday, 9th November 4pm - 7pm, at:The US Embassy, Grosvenor Square, London W1A 1AE
2. In the aftermath of the protest, there will be a series of educational workshops where Afrikan history and current affairs will be discussed. These will take place at: 44-46 Offley Road, London SW9 0LS, at: 6.30pm on Friday 6th, 12th & 19th & 26th November 2010
