THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY & THE CASE OF MUMIA ABU-JAMAL
Saturday, April 25 at 6pm in the basement meeting room
of the Chester Creek Cafe at 1902 E. 8th St.,Duluth, MN

You are invited to a public forum on the struggle to end the death penalty, and to free political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. The tragic continued use of the death penalty has inspired millions to fight against it, and the case of Mumia has come to symbolize what is wrong with the death penalty, and our criminal ‘justice’ system in general. Speaking at this event will be a panel of local activists from Amnesty International and Northwoods for Mumia. After the presentations there will be an open discussion. There will also be a birthday card for Mumia for people who would like to sign it [April 24 is Mumia’s birthday]. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Sponsored by Northwoods for Mumia
P.O. Box 16853, Duluth MN 55816

Mumia is a murderer, not a political prisoner.

New evidence, including the recantation of a key eyewitness, new ballistic and forensic evidence and a confession from Arnold Beverly (one of the two killers of Officer Faulkner) points to his innocence!

Maybe someone would like to cite a credible source.

but... but.. it's the INTERNET Paul!

Admittedly I am not an expert on this, but I do think it is very likely the fellow needs a new trial. But, the whole thing has become such a poster event for people on both sides of the issue that it gets hard to find the grains of truth in amongst the piles of hyperbole.

I'm the only one in this world. Can please someone join me in this life? Or maybe death...

Don't know about the Mumia case specifically, but any society that punishes murder with murder is categorically insane.

I OK with abolishing the death penalty, but Mumia is deserving of a long incarceration for killing a police officer.

The "Free Mumia" movement is silly.
