Responses to attacks on Mumia Abu-Jamal
Published Nov 22, 2006 10:05 AM
The following letter was sent on Nov. 16.
Dear friends:
Recently some Philadelphia politicians contacted officials in
France demanding that Paris revoke Mumia Abu-Jamal’s
honorary citizenship. The letter, sent by a lawyer in France who
is not even licensed to practice law in that country, contained
misrepresentations and outright lies. It is a fraud.
Attached are letters that Mumia and I, as his lead attorney, sent
on Nov. 7 to both the Mayor of Paris and the City Council of
Paris. In three decades of specializing in defending people
facing the death penalty, I have not seen a case in which the
authorities want so desperately to kill a client. Officials know
that as long as Mumia is alive he will continue being outspoken
against governmental wrongs. They are trying to silence the pen
and voice of this great journalist by killing him. We must not
let that happen.
Your concern and support is appreciated.
With best wishes,
Robert R. Bryan
