Wednesday March 1st (tomorrow!) Day of Action for Mumia Abu-Jamal
Mumia Abu-Jamal, the only political prisoner on death row
in the United States, is facing the last stage of his federal appeal.
The journalist and former Black Panther was convicted of killing
a Philadelphia police officer 18 years ago, a crime
his supporters and many human rights groups maintain
Abu-Jamal did not commit.
(details can be found at http://www.amnestyusa.org/abolish/reports/mumia/ )
A coalition of Boston groups including Amnesty International,
Refuse & Resist, the MIT Social Justice Cooperative, and the Boston
Campus Action Network are organizing several events to bring attention
to Mumia Abu-Jamal's case.
AFTERNOON:
