Urgent! Appeal Denied
Mumia Abu-Jamal faces death
penalty or life imprisonment
Free Mumia Now!
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia has ruled against a new trial for Mumia Abu©Jamal,
and also ruled that any future hearing on his case would be strictly limited to the question of whether
he should be put to death or spend the rest of his life in jail.
It is critical that all those in support of Mumia come out and voice their anger and outrage at this
decision. We need to mobilise now to demand his immediate freedom!
Mumia has been imprisoned on death row for a quarter of a century, convicted of a crime he did not
commit. He was framed for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer because of his history of political
activism and his record as a journalist who was not afraid to speak out for the oppressed. The US courts
have refused to admit a wealth of evidence that proves his innocence, including the confession of a man
who said he killed the police officer. His case dramatically illustrates the racism that lies at the heart of
the US justice system and particularly in the use of the death penalty. Winning Mumiaʹs freedom will
be a victory for all oppressed people that will resonate around the world.
The British government is a major international ally of the US , and protests here and around the world
can have an important effect. In 1995 a wave of international protest prevented Mumiaʹs execution,
even after a date had been set. We need to do it again ¨C and this time win his unconditional release!

penalty!
