From: "Action Center" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2001 16:42:03 -0500 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [IAC] All Out for Mumia Dec 8 NEWS BULLETIN: ON NOV. 21ST, COMMON PLEAS STATE JUDGE, PAMELA DEMBE REJECTS MUMIA'S APPEAL FOR A NEW POST CONVICTION RELIEF HEARING TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE WITH VITAL, UNHEARD EVIDENCE. DEMBE CLAIMS THAT HER COURT HAS "NO JURISDICTION" TO GRANT NEW TRIAL. MUMIA'S LAWYERS WILL APPEAL TO HIGHER STATE COURT. JOIN THE IAC IN PHILADELPHIA ON SAT. DECEMBER 8TH TO DEMAND THE FREEDOM OF MUMIA ABU-JAMAL December 9th will mark the 20th anniversary of the unjust arrest and incarceration of African American journalist and political prisoner, Mumia Abu-Jamal. For 20 years, Mumia's case has symbolically represented resistance against every form of racist and political repression. And today, his case cannot be separated from the reactionary atmosphere created by the U.S. government that wants to use the tragic September 11th attacks to stifle progressive political dissent. Thousands of unknown Arab and South Asian young men, falsely accused of being "terrorists", are being detained indefinitely and tortured by the FBI and INS. At the same time, thousands of unknown Black and Latino prisoners are languishing on U.S. death row, a great majority of them for the "crime" of being poor. As long as one person's civil liberties and civil rights are under attack, all of our civil liberties and civil rights are under attack. This is an important aspect of Mumia's case. Join the international concerned family and friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal and others on Saturday, December 8 for a mass demonstration beginning at 12 noon at Philadelphia City Hall (Broad and Market) to demand: � stop the legal lynching of Mumia � grant a new trial to allow all the evidence proving Mumia's innocence to finally be heard especially the Arnold Beverly taped confession � end racist profiling including mass detentions, police brutality and the death penalty Bus transportation will be leaving from the International Action Center office at 9am and leaving Philly at 4pm. Round trip tickets are $15 and $20 (if you cannot attend, please make a donation to help subsidize seats for those on a fixed income). Purchase your bus ticket no later than Friday, December 7th. Free Mumia and all political prisoners! IAC, 39 W. 14th st.
