-
- Kevin and I were arraigned in
court today. The
prosecutor had to
- explain the charges to
judge. He said, "they were hanging posters,"
- which we weren’t
charged with. We represented ourselves and plead not
- guilty, and were given a
trial date of Friday, May 29 at 8:30 am, at
- 1401 Arch St., second floor.
Again, outsiders are not allowed in the
- courtroom but we welcome
anyone who wants to flyer outside. During
- the arraignment MOVE members
flyered outside the courtroom and used
- the time to do outreach.
-
- We do find it ironic that in
publicizing Mumia’s most recent book,
- "Jailhouse
Lawyer’s," a history of self-representation and
self-
- defense, we were arrested
and are now in a position to represent
- ourselves! It is an
opportunity to hone our skills and further expose
- the court’s injustice.
-
- We do want to reiterate that
it’s important that Mumia supporters be
- very vigilant and aware
right now. There is no coincidence that
- prison guards told Janet
Africa that Mumia was dead, activists were
- arrested, and Channel 6 ran
a hit piece on Mumia. This government is
- very jumpy right now. We
need to keep pushing forward with an eye on
- one another’s backs!
Thank you all so much for the support! We also
- just want to briefly shout
out Orie Ross. We were never given a phone
- call, and if he hadn’t
been so vigilant in making calls on our behalf
- we could have found
ourselves in a much uglier situation. We’re truly
- grateful for our
brother’s work. This movement is strong, full of
- love, and powerful! There is
nowhere I’d rather be, and no people I’d
- rather march alongside.

- Background:
- On Saturday, April 11th at
7:20 pm MOVE/Mumia supporters Kevin Price
- and Maiga Milbourne were
arrested at 10th and South St.
- ( Philadelphia ) for putting
up posters advertising the release
- ofMumia’s new book,
"Jailhouse Lawyers", with scotch tape. While in
- the act of taping a poster
to a metal pole three police officers came
- from behind without warning
and forced their arms behind their backs.
- They were tightly handcuffed
and led to the South St. mini-station
- very nearby. Upon entering
the building another officer asked why
- they were arrested. One of
the arresting officers replied "they had
- Mumia signs." From
there they were taken to the 3rd district (11th
- and Federal) at 7:55 . The y
stood facing a wall for 15 minutes and
- then were processed and
released.
-
- Their hearing is this
Monday, 4/13 at 8:30 am . The charges
- are "improper
distribution of handbills" (CO 10-723) and
"Nails and
- other hard substances
attached to utility poles" (CO 6905). These
- charges would be ridiculous
enough if they were true but tape (no t
- hard substances) was used
and the flyers were not being passed out.
-
- At this point we are just
writing to make folks aware. We will
- let you know if any action
of support is requested. It is clear that
- after Mondays’(4/6)
Supreme Court denial that the atmosphere
- surrounding Mumia’s
case is very tense.
-
- ***For the record:
-
- The arresting officers were
Gress and Cole and the transporting
- officers were Polini and
Jones (they were transported in squad car
- 38).***
