FREEDOMCARDS FOR MUMIA'S BIRTHDAY

Dear people,
On 24 april 2013 Mumia Abu-Jamal will become 59 years.
Unfortunally he have to "celebrate" it in the prison,where he "lives" already 32 years !
He spent 30 years innocent on deathrow. In dec.2011 they changed the deathpenalty into lifecentence without parole.
Mumia himself calls this slow-deathrow. (in holland lifesentence means 30 years,in U.S.A. lifesentence means the whole life).
The state couldn't kill him because there is no proof against mumia and because of the worldwide protests and attention,
supported by AmnestyInternational, Nelson Mandela,desmond tutu,Sting and many,many others.
Mumia Abu-Jamal ia an african-american reporter and political activist. former Black Panther. He mainly wrote about racism and
policebrutality,often used against coloured people.
In 1981 mumia get involved in a shooting,where 1 white cop got killed. mumia was badly injured,on the way to the hospital the
police beat him severely, but mumia survived and got wrongly convicted for murder on this white cop.
The whole proces was a sick joke; the witnesses in this proces were intimidated by the police,there were no black juries,etc.etc.
How ever mumia didn't give up and we'll do same. We want to show mumia and the state as well,tha't we didn't forget mumia
and all the other innocent people sitting there;therefor we want to write many,many birthdaycards to mumia.
(on his birthday there will be several actions worldwide demanding mumiaas freedom)
LET'S ALL HELP HIM. WRITE HIM. POWER FOR FREEDOM !
MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, prisoner #AM 8335
