From: Free Mumia Abu-Jamal <free2mumia@googlemail.com> Racism is at the core of an unjust system - do not let an innocent man be executed     The PAN AFRIKAN VOICE and the Pan Afrikan Society Community Forum invites all Afrikan/Working Class and Progressive People to a campaigning public meeting to save the life of Mumia Abu-Jamal. MUMIA ABU JAMAL IS INNOCENT - A POLITICAL PRISONER ABOLISH THE RACIST DEATH PENALTY - FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS NOW Date & Time: 7 PM - WEDNESDAY 28th APRIL 2010 Venue: KARIBU EDUCATION CENTRE, 7 GRESHAM ROAD, BRIXTON, LONDON SW9 7PH (Third Right Street From Brixton Tube Station) Organised by: George Jackson Socialist League Pan Afrikan Society Community Forum Democracy and Class Struggle Supported by: Fight Racism Fight Imperialism World Peoples Resistance Movement (Britain) Global Afrikan Congress Co-ordination Committee of the Revolutionary Communists of Britain. Invited Speakers: Colin Burgon MP RMT (National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Worker) Unison Radha d'Souza - Law Lecturer Fight Racism Fight Imperialism Indian Workers Association GB Partisans Defence Committee Global Women's Strike Amnesty International CAMPACC & others All are welcome - Admission free - donations welcome Mumia Abu-Jamal is in danger of execution as the Supreme Court on Tuesday January 2010 threw out a ruling that had set aside the death sentence of Mumia Abu-Jamal the former Black Panther and internationally known political prisoner. We demand that Mumia Abu-Jamal who is innocent of all charges be released unconditionally and immediately. Mumia Abu-Jamal has been on Pennsylvania's death row now approaching 30 years after being falsely accused of killing a policeman. Mumia Abu-Jamal was a radio journalist known as the "Voice of the Voiceless". He exposed the racist and class oppression of the Afrikan and other oppressed working class. In 1985 he defended the Move family whose home had been bombed by a helicopter which killed 13 defenceless and innocent people including women and children. Mumia Abu- Jamal's case is symptomatic of the racism and class nature of the criminal justice system both in US and the UK. The criminal justice system in the UK is similarly brutal and racist. The so called War on Terror is in fact a War of Terror allowing people to be held without cause and for the Afrikan and Muslim community to be targeted. The US prison population is now 2.5 million. While in Britain it is 100,000 and rising. As of now the brutal prison system in US and the UK is disproportionately filled with young Afrikan men. Robert Bryan lawyer for Mumia Abu-Jamal says people continue to use the false term "reinstating the death penalty" concerning Mumia. He has always been under a death sentence. When there has been a victory, the prosecution has gone to a higher court, thereby suspending the effect. In 2008 the Court of Appeals ruled reversed the death judgement. The State petitioned the Supreme Court, so the reversal of the death penalty never took effect. What is clear today is that Mumia Abu-Jamal is in imminent danger and the way has been cleared for his execution by the decision on January 19th 2010. There are approximately 2.5 Mjillion prisoners in the US gulag with thousands on death row approximately 50 % are Afrikans. We the following organisations in Britain undertake to raise the profile of Mumia Abu-Jamal with publicity, demonstrations and meetings throughout 2010 and demand his unconditional release. Join the campaign and build support in your Trade Union and workplace organisations.
