HeadlineApr 08, 2015

Supporters of Mumia Abu-Jamal have released new photos of the imprisoned journalist and former Black Panther, saying he has lost some 50 pounds and is covered with “a hard, leathery layer of jet-black skin, that is bloody, painful and itchy.” Abu-Jamal is in a prison infirmary in Pennsylvania after he was temporarily hospitalized for diabetic shock. His supporters have demanded he be allowed to see an independent team of specialists chosen by his family.
