September 9, 2016 | CBS Philly | Cherri Gregg
Members of MOVE rallied outside of the Philadelphia Department of Health to protest a recent federal court ruling denying critical Hepatitis C treatment for former death row inmate Mumia Abu Jamal. The ruling raises questions about inmate care.
“Nobody is immune to this kind of travesty of justice,” says Romona Africa, communications director for the MOVE Organization.
She joined concerned family and friends of Mumia Abu Jamal on Wednesday morning in a rally and press conference. The demonstration was made days after a federal district court judge denied Jamal access to critical treatment for his Hepatitis C.
