Capping off a weekend of global celebrations of political prisoner Mumia
Abu-Jamal’s 56th birthday on April 24, supporters gathered in Washington,
D.C., on April 26. There they held a press conference, march and rally to the
Department of Justice to demand that Attorney General Eric Holder launch an
investigation into civil rights violations of Abu-Jamal, who remains on death
row in Pennsylvania. Abu-Jamal faces the unacceptable options of life in prison
or reinstatement of the death penalty, despite the many violations of his
rights.
