Monday April 22nd 2013: Volkseten Vegazulu, Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Campaign Benefit, 19:00 pm.
Mumia Abu Jamal is an african-american reporter and political activist.They called him,the ‘Voice of the Voiceless’,as he reported about racism and police brutality in the USA. So the local authorities didn’t really liked him.
Once having been a victim of police racism, he joined the Black Panter Party.In the 70ts he became a reporter and reported about the state-terror against the radical,black organisation MOVE. When he spook about the brutal violence by the police against MOVE-headquarters,he lost his job and became a taxi driver. In 1981 Mumia got involved in a shooting,which resulted in 1 dead white policeman and Mumia badly injured,but Mumia survived. The very conservative judge Sabo gave him the death penalty for murder on this white policeman.
In Pennsylvania he spent 30 years innocent on death row. Since then,worldwide protests and campaigns were held to ask for his release. Mumia wants a new and FAIR trial and is supported by Amnesty International, Nelson Mandela,Desmond Tutu, European parliament and many,many others.
Beginning December 2011 the state let’s know,no longer to execute Mumia (because of the worldwide campaign…..).. The execution has changed into LIFE SENTENCE!
This will be the first time in 30 years that Mumia can hug his wife and daughter, that he can feel them. Imagine!
On this right moment we are working to raise money for a new trial,where his innocence has to be proved. THIS IS POSSIBLE!
Let’s all help Mumia……..write him,cause now,more then ever he needs our help.
