Mumia's life is in danger: today the Third Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision upholding Mumia Abu-Jamal's frame-up conviction. In turning down his appeal for a new trial, the Court ordered a new sentencing hearing to decide whether he is again to be sentenced to die or condemned to the living death of life in prison.

The Court's decision is another slap in the face to all opponents of racial injustice. Recalling the infamous Dred Scott decision, the Court has again declared that a fighter for black freedom like Mumia has no rights that the courts are bound to respect. A former Black Panther Party spokesman, MOVE supporter and renowned journalist, Mumia is an innocent man, framed up for his political beliefs. He should never have spent a day in prison.

Emergency protest (organised by the Partisan Defence Committee) -
