Despite the verdict, there is overwhelming evidence that Mumia is innocent. New ballistic and forensic evidence, recantation of key witnesses, and a confession from the real killer all point to his innocence. There is a global campaign underway to demand his freedom.

From Death Row, Mumia has managed to overcome the most oppressive conditions to publish essays and dispatch weekly, nationally broadcast radio commentaries. He has also authored five critically acclaimed books, including the recent We Want Freedom: A Life in the Black Panther Party.
