An audience-packed room at Riverside Church in New York City on April 3
heard Mumia Abu-Jamal’s new legal team speak on the political and legal
significance of the almost 30-year campaign to free this world-renowned
political prisoner unjustly housed on Pennsylvania’s death row. The
lawyers who spoke were Christina Swarns, director of the NAACP Legal Defense
and Educational Fund’s Criminal Justice Project, and Judith Ritter,
professor at Widener Law School. Pam Africa of International Concerned Family
and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal and Suzanne Ross of the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal
Coalition (NYC) also made presentations.
