Summary
After 45 years in prison, Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther now 72, is turning to the United Nations for help—his legal team has filed a petition with the UN’s working group on arbitrary detention, arguing his conviction for the 1982 murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner was unjust, citing racial exclusion in jury selection, judicial bias, and prosecutorial misconduct. With all U.S. legal options exhausted, Abu-Jamal’s team hopes international pressure will force a retrial or sentence commutation, while Abu-Jamal himself remains hopeful in the power of people and movements to bring about justice, not just the courts. His case remains a powerful symbol in the ongoing struggle for racial justice in America. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
