Johanna Fernandez speaking on Mumia Abu-Jamal (political prisoner in the US) in Berlin at the Rosa-Luxemburg-Conference 2012.

This is part 2 of her speech on recent developments about Mumia. For 30 years the movement to free Mumia has been holding the lines to stop the state from murdering Mumia.

The latest decision of the US Supreme Court on the unconstitutional death penalty in his case calls the whole trial into question. Why are there supposed to be mistakes in the sentence but not in the conviction itself?

The Occupy Wallstreet Movement and the horrific execution of Troy Davis transferred the consciounsness of the us-american public. Michelle Alexander's book "The New Jim Crow" is read all over the US. The situation is completely open - to FREE MUMIA is becoming a possibility now.

Johanna Fernandez outlines the next steps in the campaign to free Mumia in the US and Germany. The audiance in Berlin seemed to be determined to free Mumia and not to rest, until the death penalty is abolished and human rights are established for prisoners in the US.
