• Report from Sundiata Sadiq on his and Suzanne Ross' visit to London, hosted by the Pan-African Society and the Free Mumia Campaign
  
• Report from Suzanne Ross on her participation in the Open World Conference Against Exploitation in Algiers
  
  There has definitely been a revitalization of the international movement to free Mumia since the announcement of the Supreme Court that Mumia's execution should be reconsidered (after that issue had been taken off the table in 2001)!
  
• And honor Mumia for his uncompromising resistance fram death row, in the belly of the beast, for almost three decades!!!
