December 9, 2001, will mark 20 years since the incarceration of Mumia Abu-Jamal, with most of this time spent locked down on death row. To be held for 20 years, in conditions of isolation and under constant threat of execution, is itself a form of cruel and degrading torture. To have this happen as the result of a trial that Amnesty International has called a travesty of justice is an outrage against human rights.

Already targeted by police and the FBI from the age of 15 for his opposition to racism and concern for justice, Mumia has championed the people, exposed police brutality and countless other injustices, and became known as "the voice of the voiceless." This was true in 1981 when he was targeted by police in the first place, and it's even more true now. From death row Mumia, through his voice, his writings and his firm stand has come to represent the aspirations of people for a better world. In today 's political climate with all of the government's attempts to suppress dissent, Mumia, the voice of the voiceless, is more precious than ever to the people.
