Mumia Abu-Jamal is a journalist and former Black Panther who was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1981 murder of a Philadelphia police officer. Many consider him a political prisoner and believe that he was framed. His case has drawn international attention. His death sentence was recently thrown out, but he is still being denied a new trial.
