Mumia's Condition Grave
Take Action NOW!

2 May: Mumia was still in the infirmary at SCI Mahanoy. Pam Africa and Abdul Jon visited, and Mumia has been able to call his wife, Wadiya Jamal, and meet with his attorney, Bret Grote.  The attorney has submitted expert medical recommendations to the Dept of Corrections outlining the need for Munia to undergo immediate and thorough diagnostic tests to find the cause of his life threatening health condition which the prison has allowed to become nearly lethal. Obtaining a diagnosis is paramount at this moment.

The prison is still preventing Mumia's doctors from adequate oversight and input by preventing Mumia having access to information he needs to advocate for his own care.  Public pressure has been key every step of the way, and remains crucial.  Please keep up the calls, emails and faxes. Demand that:

·         Adequate diagnostic test be done immediately.

·         Mumia's chosen doctor is allowed to conduct an onsite medical examination

·         Mumia's doctor is allowed to communicate freely and regularly with him and prison infirmary physicians.

(There are no phones in the prison infirmary; Mumia’s calls are limited to 15 minutes and he has limited access to the day room where the phones are located).

 

Please call the numbers listed, along with Mumia's name his prison number is AM 8335.  Call local news sources in your area that would report on this crisis. Share this email with your contact lists. Get out the information via any social media you use especially Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #MumiaMustLive

It is clear that Pennsylvania prison officials are intent on carrying out their plans to murder Mumia through medical neglect. This situation is urgent.  Every call matters.  Every action matters.  Call your friends, your neighbours. We must speak out now before it’s too late.
