Political Prisoner???

Hi.. I believe that that's

Hi.. I believe that that's correct.. "Activists from the U.S.
and worldwide organized a day-long teach-in in Philadelphia and online to demand:
.No death penalty; No life sentence and for a Civil Rights Investigation in support of the award-winning journalist and political prisoner,
Mumia Abu-Jamal." I definitely agree with this and I think there is no justice in what they want to happen..

Poor

answer with no factual response. Jamal is now serving a life sentence which is more than he gave Officer Faulkner. As to Civil rights investigation, why? The Courts, both State and Federal up to and including the Supreme Court, found NO INJUSTICE...only guilt. Define "political prisoner" as related to this murder case?
