Mumia Abu-Jamal’s Life is in Danger: ICFFMAJ and MOVE
This government has been trying to murder Mumia for 34 years. The power of this movement stopped his execution in 1995 and 1999, and got him off of death row. Now they’re deliberately trying to murder him through medical neglect and intentional torture. This situation is urgent and couldn’t be more serious. Mumia is currently in a wheelchair, two days ago he couldn’t stand up, his speech is slurred, and he can barely hold a bottle of water. This isn’t just medical neglect, this is a continuation of the premeditated murder that was set in place when Mumia was shot in the chest, was rammed headfirst into a steel pole, and was then railroaded through the courts and onto deathrow. Just two months ago Phil Africa died under similar suspicious circumstances. We have absolutely no time to waste.
People must treat this as if Mumia’s death warrant has been signed and the execution date is tomorrow, because that’s their intention. They have absolutely no intention of freeing Mumia, and they have no interest in letting him live a long life in prison continuing to be an example of resistance for the world. They want Mumia dead, and if they can do it by medical neglect they will. The only reason Mumia wasn’t executed in 1995, the only reason he was moved off of death row is because the pressure for justice for Mumia was too strong. The only way Mumia is going to live through this attack on his life is if all people step up and immediately demand healthier diet for Mumia and the ability to have outside medical care. We aren’t asking for anything here that hasn’t been done in Pennsylvania prisons before. There are diets in place for people dealing with health problems and they aren’t even giving him that. Since he was prematurely taken from the hospital and put back in the prison where these problems started his blood sugar levels have been rising because they are only giving him foods like pasta that are dangerous with diabetes.

El lunes 30 de marzo en la mañana, las autoridades de la prisión de SCI Mahanoy informaron que Mumia Abu-Jamal tuvo una “crisis médica” y lo trasladaron de esa prisión a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Centro Médico Schuylkill, en Pottsville, Pensilvania.
Encadenado a su cama, solo y privado de cualquier contacto con su familia, Mumia sigue en Cuidados Intensivos. Los oficiales de la prisión y del hospital difunden información falsa y niegan a su familia el derecho a visitarlo. También se niegan a darles a la familia y a los abogados información sobre su condición y su historial médico. La familia de Mumia mantiene vigilia en la sala de visitas de la UCI.
El mismo lunes por la mañana, algunos de sus abogados y gente de apoyo estaban en una audiencia para oponerse a la Ley de Revictimización, mejor conocida como la Ley Mordaza, en Harrisburg, Pensilvania, cuando se enteraron de su traslado al hospital.
