MUMIA NEWS FLASH ALERT

I just got a call from Dr. Mark McClain Taylor, founding member of
Academics for Mumia Abu-Jamal.  He is in Harrisburg with hundreds
of supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal, including foreign dignitaries
>from France and other countries.  They are attempting to deliver
a petition with 60,000 signatures, collected from France to
Governor Ridge.

THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE PETITIONS ... Only
sending out security personnel.  Meanwhile, the foreign dignitaries
and other Mumia supporters are holding their ground and refuse to
leave.

The situation is very tense and an international incident is in the
making.  Please forward this message as far and wide as possible.
Please forward it to news sources and to as many distribution lists
as possible.  Please also, call/fax Governor Ridge's office and
demand that the petition be accepted.

Voice: 717-787-2500 Fax 727-772-8284
