The birthday of dissident journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, imprisoned on Pennsylvania’s Death Row for 30 years, was marked today by a demonstration in solidiarity with Mumia and with political prisoners all over the United States, and in the US gulag of “black sites” all over the world.<\/p>\n

Mumia sent greetings of solidarity and delivered a short statement, which is included in its entirety in this newsreel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
