This week, a full length report on Mumia Abul-Jamal, the award winning black journalist from Philadelphia who was convicted of murdering a policeman 17 years ago. He has been on death row ever since.
Earlier this month, after years of appeals, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge signed a death warrant for Mumia. He is scheduled to die on December 2 1999.
Supporters say his trial was a travesty of justice. They have produced compelling evidence to prove that the Philadelphia police and the FBI had a vendetta against Mumia because of his political activism. Witnesses have recanted their trial testimony, acknowledging they were coerced to lie for the prosecution. Crucial evidence was withheld from the defense. An International movement has risen up to demand a new trial for Mumia, which includes the Vancouver Coalition to Save Mumia. They are organizing a Rally to Save Mumia on Saturday October 23 1999, at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Hornby and Robson downtown, at noon.
Speaker at the Vancouver rally, part of the worldwide "Millions for Mumia" action on April 24 1999, Mumia's birthday.
