But Judge Decries State’s Protocol for Hep-C Inmates
04 September 2016 — A federal court has denied innocent political prisoner and former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal the life-saving medicine that could cure his Hepatitis-C. Based on a technicality–that Mumia didn’t file the suit against a PA state agency that didn’t even exist at the original time of filing over one year ago–this much-delayed ruling was “disappointing” in the words of Mumia’s lawyers, to say the least.
UNITE, the largest union in the United Kingdom, wrote a letter to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf demanding adequate medical treatment for Mumia. The letter is available below.
The International Dockworkers’ Council, representing 90,000 dockworkers around the world, has added its voice to the chorus protesting Mumia’s medical mistreatment. Their letter to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf is below.
