We have learned that Mumia Abu-Jamal, the world renowned veteran Black Panther, political prisoner and radio journalist, had heart pain over the weekend. He was rushed to the hospital, and is expected to undergo heart surgery tomorrow, April 15, 2021.
We demand that:
ALL OUT FOR MUMIA!
Mobilize to Shut Down Philly 4/23-25
SAVE THE DATES!!!
Mumia has Congestive Heart Failure and Covid-19!
“Freedom is the only Treatment.” - Mumia’s physician, Dr. Ricardo Alvarez
“Rise up, the power is in the people, Mumia’s life is in our hands.” - Pam Africa
This is a life and death situation and we need to mobilize immediately.
Mumia is currently in the so-called "infirmary" at SCI Mahoney after spending 5 days in an outside hospital. Ten pounds of fluid were drained from his body due to CHF, and he also tested positive for Covid. His skin condition has returned worse than before, and he has open sores all over his body.
Jalil Muntaqim is a former Black Panther and political prisoner. He was released from prison on October 7th 2020 after serving nearly 50 years. During his decades in prison, Jalil earned numerous educational degrees, authored two books, led multiple education programs, and mentored many younger incarcerated men.
