MOVE 9 Parole Update

by statement from Ramona Africa | 04.12.2008

This is an update from Ramona Africa following this week's Parole interviews of the MOVE 9 women.

ONA MOVE, Everybody!  This is an update on the MOVE 9 parole situation. 

Janine, Janet and Debbie were interviewed by Matthew Mangino in person and Judy Viglione watched on closed circuit TV.  Janine told us that Mangino questioned her about the issue of innocence and then he didn't want to hear any information about MOVE's innocence. Janet and Debbie got to put out a lot of information about how many people sit in prison for 20, 30 years and have to be released because their innocence is proven so a conviction does not make a person guilty.  Viglione asked Janet and Debbie a few questions about what they would be doing if they were released.  The decision could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. 

Our brothers see the parole board sometime this month but they don't have a specific date yet.  My brother, Michael, was in the U.S. Marines before joining MOVE (he was around 17 years old) and after being around MOVE he decided not to go back to the Marines.  He was AWOL (away without official leave).  The Military Police came to MOVE Hq. and JOHN AFRICA gave them some serious information-they never came back. Now over 35 years later, when prison officials interviewed Michael to decide if they would recommend him for parole or not, they bring up this issue of Michael going AWOL from the military when he was 17. 

It's obvious that this government does not want MOVE people on the street again so we have to keep the pressure on them so they have no choice but to release innocent MOVE people.  Stay strong and keep sending letters to the parole board, keep the pressure on.  Ona Move----Ramona

People think that prisoners especially Move prisoners are less than human. Chucks plea in behalf of dieing prisoners tends to indicate that he is human as well. Chunks plea needs to be posted other places than the middle of www.onamove.com.

I fact all over the world as with Mumia's writings would me nice, http://www.phillyimc.org/en/node/66594
