Christina Swarns(NAACP Legal Defence and Educational Fund), Mumia
Abu-Jamal’s lead lawyer, will be in London on 16th September for one
day.  She will speak about the latest developments in his case.  Ms
Swarns has been part of the Abu-Jamal legal team for some years. Her
submissions on the issue of racism in jury selection were a crucial
part of the appeal submitted in May 2007.

Ms Swarns visits just as a new book by Mumia (as he is known to
millions) is launched in the UK.

Jailhouse Lawyers: Prisoners Defending Prisoners v the USAspeaks for
the creative and determined movement of prisoners who use the law
against the legal establishment. It is published just as prisoners in
the US demonstrate their massive movement against prisons as
concentration camps of repression, humiliation and other injustice,
with work strikes, hunger strikes and other courageous actions,
crossing racial divides.

Mumia Abu-Jamal isan award-winning journalist whose conviction in
1982 for killing a policeman aimed to end his years of exposing racism
and other corruption.  His trial was drenched in racism: while
Philadelphia was 43% Black, only two jurors were African-American. 
Throughout almost three decades on death row, Mumia Abu-Jamal has
continued to speak out against injustice and to organise for his
freedom and for that of other prisoners.  This is his sixth book.
