I went by Mumia on Sunday, Sept. 6. As you most likely are aware, after a progression of hospitalizations in March and April 2015, Mumia has stayed in the jail clinic. Amid this time, the vast majority of his property has stayed in his old cell.
As per Mumia, on Friday, Sept. 4, officers surged him out of his consistently planned therapeutic shower to educate him that every one of the assets in his cell had been pressed up and put away. The treatment of detainee property without a detainee is an infringement of jail methods.
In the wake of marking the structures obliged when detainee property is set away, Mumia inquired as to whether he spoke the truth to be moved to an alternate office, since the taking care of a detainee's property generally goes before an exchange. An officer guaranteed him that he would not be exchanged, but rather this all appeared to be truly interesting to Mumia.
These advancements take after the quick fallout of a medicinal claim documented by Mumia accusing the DOC of therapeutic disregard. Coming right now, a jail exchange would not be to Mumia's greatest advantage as it would disturb contact with his lawyers and confine him from his family and supporters.
What's more, a move would put Mumia's wellbeing at danger; it would further trade off his physical and emotional wellness and interfere with his therapeutic consideration. The main exchange adequate would be protected travel to an expert office that would ensure the therapeutic consideration he requirements for a cure of his "dynamic" Hepatitis C condition, for which there is a cure.
As you most likely are aware, Mumia has been in an intense wellbeing emergency for more than nine months, since January 2015. In March 2015, jail clinic doctors permitted Mumia to fall into diabetic stun and approach demise.
Coming as of now, a jail exchange would not be to Mumia's greatest advantage as it would disturb contact with his lawyers and seclude him from his family and supporters.
If it's not too much trouble encourage the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC) to act to Mumia's greatest advantage and forgo exchanging him. If you don't mind additionally encourage the DOC to give Mumia – and the 10,000 Pennsylvania detainees with Hepatitis C – the cure he needs.
As of late, Mumia has lost more or less 25 pounds in two months. Despite the fact that his spirits are high and his intellectual capacities have enhanced, regardless he dozes throughout the day and is enduring amazing dormancy, a bi-result of untreated, dynamic Hepatitis C, a liver illness.
The skin around his face is clearer than before and in spite of the fact that his leg wounds have shut, they have left cavity like scars, which can emit at any minute. The skin all through his body stays ebony, crude, to a great degree wrinkled and unpleasant, similar to elephant stow away.
Nails staring him in the face and feet are tumbling off and the palms of his hands are darkened. These conditions are additionally side effects of his untreated, dynamic Hepatitis C.
The Hepatitis' dissent C cure to Mumia – while his restorative condition stays unstable keeping in mind his deforming skin condition keeps on bringing on him unfathomable enduring – is barbarous and surprising discipline. It is torment through medicinal disregard.
Request the Hepatitis C cure for Mumia and for the 10,000 Pennsylvania detainees with the illness, NOW!

On Sept. 5, jail staff took care of all Mumia's belongings from his cell while he was in the jail clinic attempting to recoup from the jail's medicinal impropriety and disregard that about murdered him. A retaliatory exchange to some other jail would be another blow against Mumia's wellbeing, and would soak him and his family in bigger trepidation and instability.
Why do we sense striking back? Since Mumia's lawyers have documented a claim charging the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections with therapeutic disregard, i.e. with inability to analyze his infection in an auspicious manner and with keeping on preventing him satisfactory treatment from claiming his crippling and life-undermining Hepatitis C condition.
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections was set to react to the claim this Thursday in court. An exchange to another jail, without giving him completely proficient social insurance, would be retaliatory.
Why do we sense striking back? Since Mumia's lawyers have recorded a claim charging the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections with restorative disregard.
In fact, it would be an assault on Mumia, another route for his foes to see him dead. We must stop any retaliatory exchange.

Though the NWU, similar to other people who comparably bolster Abu-Jamal, trusts that the Pennsylvania jail framework is careless and has not utilized sensible consideration, reflecting "restorative disregard" and damaging his human and social equality.
