**** Please forward widely ****
On Friday, April 10 from 5:00-6:00 PM Eastern time, tune in to
WBAI/Pacifica Radio (on-the-dial and online info at bottom) for a
*Special Report: Mumia Abu-Jamal's Health Crisis - A Call to Action*.
"Health Action" co-host Bob Lederer will take an in-depth look at the
multiple, severe medical problems facing Mumia -- which last week
brought him close to the brink of a coma and back -- and the ways the
Pennsylvania prison system has responded. Mumia's supporters have
described his treatment as medical neglect and malpractice, aimed at
finishing the job of execution after the federal courts overturned his
death sentence in 2011.
Bob will interview members of Mumia's support movement, his brother, and
a doctor working with him. In addition, there will be a live update on
the Harlem rally demanding proper medical care for Mumia, occurring from
5-6:30 PM on Friday at 125th St. & Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.
For updates and background on Mumia, including other actions you can
