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 the
MOVE 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!

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.
