of tb oPP , Jamal has been in the hairs of
Philadelphia's raci t killer cops for 21 yean. From the
depths of Huntingdon' death row, Ja�al's colum�
about the homel racist tenor, brutahty of Amen­
can prisons 'and hypocrisy of America's leaders appear
gularly i�, newspapen around the country. It is, that
pen and that voice the U.S.' racist rulers are deter-
mined to .till (or good: _
• At the age of 13, Jamal was beaten and ar-
ted for protesting a' rally for Alabama governor

Jamal's trial was a classic racist frame-up­
denied the lawyer of his choice and resources to pre­
pare a defense; of the prospective black jurors all but ,
one were excluded from the ,jury of twelve because of
their race while admittedly prejudiced white jurors
were chosen to decide Jamal's fate. Jamal was convict­
ed of murder by this hand-picked panel. On 3 July
1982, the prosecutor secured the death sentence with
the argument that Jamal should be condemn� to
death simply for hi political history and beliefs,
claiming th t his membership in the Black Panther
Party nd use of the slogan "power to the people" 12
years ago proved he was a committed cop-killer!
Jamal's appeal was supported by an amici curiae ,
(friend of the court) brief from the American Civil Lib­
erties Union and National COnference of Blac Law
yers. Thousands of people around the world have signed
statements demanding Jamal not be executed, includ­
ing California Congressman Ronald DeUums; actor
Edward Asner; South African poet Dennis Brutus; and
Helmut Angula, SWAPO. ILA Local 1414, Savannah,
Georgia; ILWU Local 6, San Francisco; Chicago's ATU
Local 308; and CWA Local 4309, Cleveland are among
the unions on record demanding that Jamal not die.
