Mumia Abu-Jamal Has
Hepatitis C:
Demand Treatment
Now!

Dear friend,
The time to act is now.
Five months after being
rushed to the hospital,
new medical tests show
that Mumia has
active Hepatitis C. But
prison officials are
refusing to treat him
for it.
With your help, that
changes- today.

Mumia Abu-Jamal remains weak,
ill, and in the prison
infirmary.
Five months after being admitted
to the hospital with lethal
blood sugar levels and in renal
failure, he continues to have a
debilitating skin rashes, open
wounds and swelling across his
lower extremities.
Because of our relentless
demands for medical testing and
treatment, we finally know the
likely cause of his severe
ailments: Hepatitis C.
But what is news to us is not
news to his jailers. Prison
officials have known that Mumia
was Hep. C positive since 2012--
and have done nothing.
Even now that prison doctors
know that Mumia's Hep. C is
active -from testing they
performed solely because we
demanded it-
they are refusing to provide
treatment. |
|
Today, we are going back
to court to demand
justice for our
brother.

Mumia’s legal team (Bret Grote
of Abolitionist Law Center and
Robert Boyle of New York) is
filing an amended lawsuit today,
'Abu-Jamal
v. Kerestes',
to include medical neglect and
demand immediate treatment.
Meanwhile, Prison Radio is
working tirelessly to make sure
Mumia's legal and medical team
have the necessary resources to
get Mumia the critical care he
needs.
And we can't do it without you.
We need your help today to
ensure that the prison treats
Mumia's Hepatitis C now!
|
|
The world came together for
Mumia when he fell unconscious
five months ago. Because of our
international outcry for justice
and the critical steps we took,
Mumia is alive today.
Now, we need your help to get
Mumia a treatment plan. Can you
fight for Mumia's right to
medical care by giving $100, $25
or $250 today?
