Stop the legal lynching - Free Mumia Abu-Jamal
Mumia Abu-Jamal is a former Black Panther and acclaimed journalist, currently on deathrow. Known as ’VOICE OF THE VOICELESS’ for his integrity and critical coverage on racism, repression and exploitation of the African Community, Mumia was elected President of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists in 1980. He has been targeted by the racist Philadelphia Police and then Mayor Rizzo for his coverage on the MOVE standoff and trial. In this trial 9 MOVE members were sentenced to 100 years prison each for the murder of one policeman with one bullet. Mumia Abu-Jamal uncovered the frame-up. In 1981, six months after the MOVE trial, Mumia saw his brother being beaten by police (similar to what happened to Rodney King). He tried to help his brother and was found later with a shotwound in the chest. A few meters from him lay the body of a shot police officer. Although several witnesses saw the gunman run away, Mumia was declared a copkiller and sentenced to death in a two-day-trial which, according to Amnesty International, was an UNFAIR TRIAL. Mumia was not allowed to defend himself, several witnesses were refused by the court and the jury was almost entirely white. Mumia has been fighting to get a new trial since 1982.
Stop the counterinsurgency - Free Fred Hampton Jr
Fred Hampton Jr.’s father, Fred Hampton, was a Black Panther, murdered by Chicago Police and FBI in ’69 and rehabilitated by the city of Chicago in the early ’90 for his outstanding work in the African Community. Fred Hampton jr. followed in his father’s footsteps in organising the African Community in Chicago.
He was framed in ’92 in the aftermath of the L.A. Rebellion on arson charges of two Corean Stores. The trial produced no material evidence, only shabby witnesses and no testimony. Fred Hampton jr. was sentenced to 18 year imprissonment.
This is part and parcel of the counterinsurgency policy of the U.S. gov’ment against African leadership in order to destabile and sabotage ANY form of organisation. Fred Hampton Jr. must be free and able to work in his community.Demonstrate :
