Please spread the word far and wide! This can make the difference in
Jamal's immediate release from prison THIS YEAR. These are the words of
Jamal Hart, the son of Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Greetings Comrades!

Before I begin, let me say that I am graciously humbled in receiving your
support within my plight for liberation. I firmly stand in total solidarity
with all of you to overcome this injustice placed against the wrongly
convicted political prisoners and freedom fighters. These biased injustices
must be banished by the people who resist our oppressors. The Death Penalty
should be abolished as well for all its racist uses on the poor and
misfortunate, specifically against Africans living in America.

There are many comrades such as you who have, throughout this unlawful
sentence I am currently serving, taken the needed time and effort to
communicate with me through writing letters, visits, sending commissary
money, etc. Always know that your efforts are not unnoticed and it is
greatly appreciated. It's because of you that I continue to resist this
mendacious legal system that continuously targets innocent people who
attempt to politically educate the masses on fascism and oppression. I
humbly thank all of you for reaching out to me. Your solidarity is not
taken lightly. I am a true believer that an injury to one is an injury to
all. My comrades, the struggle continues!

This current correspondence will bring you up to speed in the current events
regarding my case.

At this time, my case is being presided by Judge Edwin M. Kosik in the
Middle District of Pennsylvania. It is a habeas corpus petition on the
unlawful restraint on my liberation from the unlawful custody here at FCI
Schuylkill in Minersville, Pennsylvania. The Warden's name is Ronald Holts.

The state of Pennsylvania labeled me as an armed career criminal due to 3
felony charges I was convicted of. However, after thorough research by
prison officials here at FCI Schuylkill, it has been revealed that an
assault conviction I was accused of in 1995 DOES NOT EXIST and should not
have counted in the first place. Due to this blatant miscarriage of justice,
I should have been sentenced to the original sentence range of 6 years 5
months to 8 years instead of the dreadful 15 years to life.

I am humbly requesting all of you to please take time out of your busy
schedules and write a letter to the Honorable Judge Edwin M. Kosik to order
the immediate release of Jamal Hart from unlawful custody.

The information to contact Judge Kosik is as follows:

Clerk's Office
c/o Honorable Judge Edwin M. Kosik
United States District Court
235 N. Washington Avenue
P.O. Box 1148
Scranton, PA 18501
Judge's Chambers: (570) 207-5730

I am confident and convinced that you, the people, will ultimately free me
and so many others being held unjustly. You have the power to expose the
overt injustice that has lead to my unlawful imprisonment for the past 10
years. The courts will move on this ONLY if you write and/or call demanding
my immediate release NOW!

For more details on this situation, please contact the Partisan Defense
Committee at 212-406-4252.

I thank you kindly for your assistance in this important matter.

In Solidarity,

Mr. Jamal Hart
