    We Accept Nothing LessThan His Freedom!

    On March 27, the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit,ignoring its own rulings and precedents as well as those ofthe U.S. Supreme Court, denied the appeal of innocent deathrow inmate, frame-up victim, award-winning journalist andleading fighter for human and democratic rights, Mumia Abu-Jamal. The State of Pennsylvania now seeks Mumia’s execu-tion. We seek a new trial and his freedom. After twenty-sixyears on death row resulting from a racist trial and AmnestyInternational-repudiated conviction presided over by Judge"Yeah, I’m going to help ‘em fry the nigger," Albert Sabo, aworldwide effort to win Mumia’s freedom is underway. AsMumia’s legal struggle enters its final stages we must reded-icate ourselves to a fight that makes the political price of hiscontinued incarceration impossible and his freedominevitable.

    The broken criminal "justice" system has excluded amountain of evidence proving Mumia’s innocence. The truthwill be heard! Mumia’s freedom is in our hands! Join us!
