ANSWER leftists urge ACTION on PA prison to help Mumia

[Gopher Broke]

August 21, 2003

Dear ANSWER supporter:

We are forwarding the following email on behalf of Mumia Abu-Jamal, an African American revolutionary journalist who has been languishing on death row in Pennsylvania for 21 years. Mumia is known and loved worldwide as the "voice of the voiceless" because he has defended the rights of the poor, the oppressed and working people everywhere. Mumia has supported every anti-war demonstration and you have probably heard some of his solidarity messages played at many rallies. Mumia needs the support of all of us as he continues to fight for his freedom and more immediately, his right to decent health care. Please read the following information on the critical health crisis that Mumia is facing right now and respond as quickly as you can.

FORWARDED: A MESSAGE FROM INTERNATIONAL CONCERNED FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF MUMIA ABU-JAMAL---URGENT: MUMIA NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW!

It is with great concern that we report to you that Mumia has developed a potentially serious health condition affecting his feet, which have swollen painfully, making him unable to walk. Mumia suspects it may be due to blood clotting, a situation which can be very dangerous.

Health conditions are serious matters for prisoners, and blood clotting can be fatal. Please flood the prison's phone lines and demand that Mumia be allowed to be examined by an outside doctor of his choice.

SCI Greene prison: (724) 852-2902

During the Day from 8:00am to 5:00pm, ask for Superintendent Folino

During the Night, 5:00pm to 8:00am ask for Captain Hall. If gone during late night, ask for current Shift Director.

In light of Mumia's health condition, please also contact these elected officials who are supportive of Mumia and ask that they put pressure on SCI Greene Prison and demand that Mumia be allowed to be examined by an outside doctor of his choice.

Remind them that even simple health conditions can turn serious in prison conditions, and that sickness brought about by incarceration is one of the leading killers of prisoners. Mumia's condition should be considered very serious until proven otherwise. If the swelling of his feet is indeed being caused by blood clotting, this is potentially life threatening situation.

It takes a special kind of person to care more about a cop-killer in an American prison than innocent Cuban dissidents in a Communist gulag.

Good! Let the clotting begin.

Yup. Death row could definitely be described as a pretty critical health crisis.

I've read about this SOB. Let Ed Asner pay his medical bills.

What goofy people.

[giznort]

Mumia Abu-Jamal. I wonder what his birth name was.

[Calpernia]

See reference in post to sympathetic 'officials'.

Dawg, you have to remember that murders, sexual perverts, rapists, robbers [democrat politicans], thieves, socialists, communists, liberals, and leftists are all blood brothers and sisters.

I suppose that I could have put democrat after each name and not been too far off.

Or people being murdered and tortured by the thousands by a brutal regime. Some, because they didn't win their soccer game.

Behold the most stupid woman on earth.

A judge threw out the death sentence but upheld conviction.I couldn't find if the state appealed.(2002)Of all the phony "civil rights" concerns,this is the most sickening hypocrisy.He is a murderer.Bunch of commie sympathizers.Ramsey Clark is one of his apologists.Hope he strokes.

Wesley Cook, re: google.

[Khurkris]

...hmmm...lets see...first, we establish a serious health concern on his record...next, we get him moved to a infirmary or hospital ward....then, we get him transferred to a near-by hospital for special treatment. Now we have our chance to bust him out and move him into the underground. What a plan!

What a pity he had to throw it all away by shooting da fuzz.

Arasina coined the term that I have whole hearted adopted, Mishmosh Movement.

[CARepubGal]

I hope his death is protracted and painful. ROT IN HELL MUMIA!
