Mumia Abu-Jamal: mündliche Anhörung am 9.11.

(Video) Test Shows Missing Evidence and Falsified Testimony from Key Witnesses in Abu-Jamal Trial (engl)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hedfNPt6UQQ

Am 20. September erschien ein Artikel von Dave Lindorff und Linn Washington, in dem sie einen Test vorstellen. Die von Staatsanwaltschaft in Mumias Verfahren behauptete Version beinhaltete u.a., dass Mumia angeblich aus nächster Nähe mehrere Schüsse auf den am Boden liegenden Polizisten Faulkner abgegeben haben soll. Seit Jahren stand die Frage im Raum, wieso davon eigentlich keine Spuren im Zement des Bürgersteigs zu sehen waren. Der nun in englischer Sprache veröffentlichte Bericht legt den Grund nahe - dieses Szenario kann so nicht stattgefunden haben:

"New Test Shows Key Witnesses Lied at Abu-Jamal Trial; Sidewalk Murder Scene Should Have Displayed Bullet Impacts" (20.09.10)

Noch ist nicht alles gelaufen, aber von dieser Justiz ist keine Fairness zu erwarten.

Macht euch bereit für die Notfallproteste!

Sie wollen Mumia Abu-Jamal umbringen - wir alle gemeinsam haben das bereits mehrfach verhindert - und wir können es wieder tun!

In Philadelphia wird es am Welttag gegen die Todesstrafe zu Protesten gegen die Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) kommen, die sich stark für die Hinrichtung von Mumia und anderen Gefangenen, z.B. Troy Davis, einsetzt.

Hier der übersetzte Aufruf:


WELTTAG GEGEN DIE TODESSTRAFE 10. OKTOBER 2010

Wir fordern die hundertprozentige und sofortige Abschaffung der Todesstrafe!
Diese Forderung gilt ausnahmslos für alle Gefangenen – auch Mumia Abu-Jamal!

As Competing Films Offer Differing Views on Faulkner Killing, Mumia Supporters Claim New Evidence Undermines Key Witness Testimony

LOTS O STUFF HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, DON'T BE MIA, PASS THE WORD--IT'S IMPORTANT!
There is a significant new development regarding my client, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the journalist and author who has been on Pennsylvania's death row for nearly three decades.

Oral argument scheduled, United States Court of Appeals: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has just granted oral argument in Mumia's case. (Abu-Jamal v. Beard, No. 01-9014.) The arguments will be before a three-judge panel on November 9, 2010, 2:00 pm. This will be in the Ceremonial Courtroom, U.S. Courthouse, 6th & Market Streets, Philadelphia.

Mumia & I spoke shortly after the order was received. He was humbled by the good news. We are cautiously encouraged that the federal court has taken this step.

This is significant in the ongoing litigation to save Mumia's life and win the case. At stake is whether he will be executed, or granted a new jury trial on the question of the death penalty. We previously won on this issue, but early this year the U.S. Supreme Court vacated that decision and ordered that the case be again reviewed by the federal court.

New movie, Justice On Trial: Yesterday Justice On Trial premiered in Philadelphia. It is by Johanna Fernandez, a professor at Baruch College, New York, and Kouross Esmaeli of Big Noise Films. The release of this superb film comes at a perfect time since it counters another movie,The Barrel of a Gun, that was also shown the same day. The Barrel production is replete with distortions and wild theories, and is supported by those who wish to see my client executed, including the Fraternal Order of Police.

Petition to President Barack Obama (Mumia Abu-Jamal and the Global Abolition of the Death Penalty): Over 24,000 people from around the world have signed the petition, including three Nobel Prize winners. We need many more for this to benefit Mumia. Some of the signers are: Desmond Tutu, South Africa (Nobel Peace Prize, 1984); Günter Grass, Germany (Nobel Prize in Literature, 1999); Elfriede Jelinek, Austria (Nobel Prize in Literature, 2004); Danielle Mitterrand, Paris (former First Lady of France); Fatima Bhutto, Pakistan (writer); Colin Firth (Academy Award Best-Actor nominee, 2010); Noam Chomsky, MIT (philosopher and author); Ed Asner (actor); Mike Farrell (actor); Robert Meeropol (son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, executed in 1953); Michael Radford (director of the Oscar winning film Il Postino); members of the European Parliament; members of the German Bundestag; European Association of Lawyers for Democracy & World Human Rights; and Reporters Without Borders, Paris.

How to Help: For information on how to help, both by signing the Obama petition & donating funds, please go to Mumia's website ( http://www.MumiaLegalDefense.org).
Conclusion: Mumia is in the greatest danger since being arrested in 1981. We will not stop until he is saved.

Yours very truly,

Es sieht so aus, als ob in den USA der mediale Versuch läuft, die Öffentlichkeit auf den Gedanken einer Hinrichtung von Mumia Abu-Jamal zu gewöhnen. Mit dem rechten Auftrags-Film von Tigre Hill hat das gestern in Philadelphia medial nicht hingehauen, aber es geht weiter.

Heute schreibt die LA Times über die für den 9. November angekündigten mündlichen Anhörungen:
"...The Nov. 9 hearing could prove a setback for the convicted police killer who has become an international cause celebre as he awaits execution..."

Da Mumias Verfahren ja lediglich ein politisches Kräftemessen ist und mit "juristischen Regeln" überhaupt nichts zu tun hat, ein gefährliches Signal. Es ist in der Tat sehr eng für Mumia.

Am 9. Oktober ist die erste Demo für Mumia in Philadelphia. Hoffentlich bleibt es nicht die einzigste.
