Mumia Court Decision Expected Any Day!
by
Abu-Jamal-News.com | 09.11.2007
A decision from the Third Circuit Court is expected literally any day now! At this critical hour, Abu-Jamal’s supporters have begun to organize in preparation for this important decision. On May 17, 2007, a three-judge panel from the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit heard oral arguments in Philadelphia on four different issues regarding the fairness of Mumia Abu-Jamal’s original 1982 trial. A decision from the Third Circuit Court is expected literally any day now! From the May 17, 2007 oral arguments, listen to the audio: http://www.abu-jamal-news.com/temp/May17Audio.html Or, read the complete transcript of the oral arguments in PDF format: http://www.abu-jamal-news.com/2007May17-transcript.pdf From the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia and the NYC Coalition: “DAY AFTER” DEMONSTRATIONS ORGANIZED FOR MUMIA’S LIFE AND FREEDOM! The NYC flyer can be downloaded at http://www.freemumia.com/pdfs/dayafterpdf.pdf Dear Friends, We join the celebration of the wonderful people's victory in Texas supported by an international movement based in Italy, England, France, Australia, South Africa and other countries in the struggle to save Kenneth Foster/Haramia KiNassor's life. May the movement continue until it frees Haramia altogether and abolishes the death penalty and the prison industrial complex. On the heels of this important challenge to the death machine in Texas, which has been perfected in that state with an incredible number of executions, we await the Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision on Mumia. As the decision could come down any day, we are making a tentative plan for the DAY AFTER should the decision not be a positive one. We will immediately take to the streets if the decision is unfavorable. Mumia should be released immediately based on his innocence and his so-called trial. But we demand, at the very least, that he be granted a new trial. In an inter-city consultation, we have decided on three steps in our response: an immediate press conference in Philadelphia upon announcement of the decision (that day, if possible, or at the latest the following morning), LOCAL ACTIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY THE DAY AFTER and, finally, a NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION on the third Saturday after the decision in Philadelphia. SCHEDULE OF ACTIONS Day of decision: Press Conference in Philadelphia Day after decision: Local actions around the country Three Saturdays after the decision: NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION IN PHILADELPHIA! "Day after" activities have already been planned in several cities. In Philadelphia there will be a march from 13th and Locust, the scene of the original confrontation on December 9, 1981, to the Federal Building. Call (267) 760-7344 if you need more information about that. In San Francisco, the Mobilization to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal has announced a demonstration at the Federal Building. Pittsburgh and other cities have also planned demonstrations. IN NEW YORK CITY the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition and the Harlem Campaign to Name a Street in Honor of Mumia Abu-Jamal are calling for people to gather at the Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Office Building on 125th Street on the "day after" from 5 PM to 8 PM if a weekday or 1 to 4 PM if a Saturday to let the community know what happened, to mobilize for greater support for the street naming, and to organize people to join us in Philadelphia for the national demonstration in that city planned for three weeks later. The Partisan Defense Committee has called for a "day after" demonstration at the Federal Building in Lower Manhattan from 5 to 7 PM on a weekday or 1 to 4 PM on a Saturday.
