Mumia is innocent!
Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!
Abolish the racist death penalty!

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 Mumia's freedom will be a victory for all oppressed people that will resonate around the world.
