PLEASE Be on Point for Mumia!

refusal to reconsider Mumia's appeal, and the limited legal options
now open to him, we have decided to call this open meeting for allinterested and able to come. We know it is very short notice but
Attorney Soffiyah Elija, who is one of Mumia's attorneys at this
stage of the proceedings and who just visited Mumia this past Monday,
is only available this Friday.
So join us to better understand the legal situation and to plan our
next steps of RESISTANCE!
Date: Friday, July 25
Place: St. Mary's Church basement

Legal update on Mumia Abu-Jamal
On July 7, the United States Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia filed a petition on the case of death-row
political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. Robert R. Bryan, lead counsel for Abu-Jamal,
submitted the petition on June 27 focusing on the racist exclusion of Black
jurors during Abu-Jamal’s original trial in
1982.
Abu-Jamal was convicted of first
degree murder of a white police officer on July 3, 1982, and has been fighting
for the right to a new trial to prove his innocence. He was denied the right to
legal representation at his trial and was railroaded to Pennsylvania’s
death row due to his revolutionary
politics.
If the Third Circuit rules
against the petition, the next appeal will be sent to the U.S. Supreme Court.
