Video Report from Dec. 6 protest for Mumia in Philadelphia

by People's Video Network | 12.15.2008

People’s Video Network in NYC has produced two new videos from the demonstration supporting Mumia Abu-Jamal in Philadelphia on Dec. 6, 2008.

The first video (embedded above), titled “New Evidence for Mumia” features Ramona Africa of MOVE, a solidarity message from Venezuela, a presentation at the crime scene by Journalists for Mumia focusing on alleged eye witness Robert Chobert’s missing taxi and testimony from Billy Cook’s trial, and most dramatically Pam Africa in front of DA Lynne Abraham’s office detailing the different new evidence of both DA misconduct and Mumia’s innocence. Africa focused particularly on the newly discovered crime scene photos that were suppressed by the DA in 1982 and 1995. Africa handed the new evidence to Civil Affairs Captain William Fisher for him to deliver to DA Abraham.

 

 

The second video titled “Youth for Mumia” is from the conclusion of the protest march in front of the Federal Court at 6th and Market, where Mumia’s oral arguments took place on May 17, 2007. Featured are Pam Africa and Isolina from Iglesia San Romero de las Americas.  Also featured are Monica Moorehead of the International Action Center, and Larry Hale of Fight Imperialism—Stand Together (FIST).
