- ======================
-
- Emergency Meeting in
Response to the U.S. Supreme Court Ruling
-
- On April 6, the U.S. Supreme
Court rejected Mumia Abu-Jamal's appeal
- for a new guilt-phase trial.
The
- Supreme Court has not yet
decided whether to consider the Philadelphia
- DA's separate appeal, which
is
- attempting to execute
Abu-Jamal WITHOUT a new sentencing hearing. In
- response to yesterday's
rejection,
- Abu-Jamal's lead attorney,
Robert R. Bryan, will be filing a "petition
- for re-hearing" in the
U.S. Supreme Court.
-
- On Saturday, April 11, 2009
at 6:00 p.m., there will be an open
- strategy session to
determine our next steps forward.
- This isn’t the first
time the Supreme Court chose not to look into
- this case. It’s quite
obvious that they don’t
- want to look into the case
because of its political implications. They
- clearly are holding fast to
the rule that
- "the Black man has no
rights which the white man is bound to respect."
- We must not let them get
away with it.
- Since the highest court in
the land didn’t even bother to explain why
- they turned down the case,
it’s our job to
- analyze the situation and
respond strategically and forcefully.
-
- After the strategy meeting,
we will watch the recently released
- documentary, "In Prison
My Whole Life", shown at
- last year’s Sundance
Film Festival and in the British Parliament this
- year. The film provides a
comprehensive
- overview of the case and
includes the recently released photos showing
- how Philadelphia police
tampered with crime
- scene evidence. Dinner will
be available for $5, and it will be served
- promptly at 6:00 p.m.
-
- What: Open Meeting in
Response to the Outrageous and Racist Ruling by
- the U.S. Supreme Court
-
- When: Saturday, April 11,
2009, 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
-
- Where: Solidarity Center, 55
West 17th Street, 5th Floor
- (btw. 5th & 6th Avenues)
