"The judges left intact his first-degree murder conviction, rejecting Abu-Jamal's claim that he deserves an entirely new trial and a chance to prove his innocence." Mumia Abu-Jamal, the Voice of the Voiceless, former Black Panther Party leader and a supporter of MOVE is an innocent man framed up by corrupt, racist Philadelphia police and courts for a murder he did not commit. The IBT, along with a host of other organizations internationally, calls for his immediate freedom. We also call on all our supporters, and everyone concerned with the struggle for social liberation, to participate in the protests called for tomorrow, FRIDAY 28 March. We have listed the ones we know of at this time in the cities where we have branches.
