>URGENT ACTION ALERT!
>
>On Monday, October 4, the United States Supreme Court denied Mumia's
>petition for a writ of certiorari. Many of the mainstream media have called
>this the "end of the line" for Mumia. NOT SO! The petition for "cert" was
>only the opening shot in Mumia's new struggle in the federal courts. But
>people should still be OUTRAGED!
>
>An effect of the denial is that Governor Ridge of Pennsylvania may use this
>action, and the false media reports that Mumia has lost conclusively at the
>Supreme Court, as an occassion to sign a NEW DEATH WARRANT.
>
>A NEW DEATH WAARANT means that Mumia will be put on Phase II. Mumia called
>into Bill Anderson's show on WHAT-1340 AM in Philadelphia this morning and
>made it seem that being put on Phase II was not the torture that it is. On
>Phase II, Mumia will be stripped of ALL his clothing, personal belongings,
>and legal papers. A guard will be stationed outside his door 24 hours a
>day, and a bright light will shine in his cell without cease. Because the
>government does not want to be denied its opportunity to murder, Mumia will
>be forcibly put on suicide watch. That means he will have to ask for EACH
>piece of toilet tissue and EACH glass of water! He will be subjected to new
>cavity searches, be denied all telephone access (no more calls into WHAT),
>and can only be visited by his attorneys and immediate family members.
>
>IF a NEW DEATH WARRANT is signed Friday, October 8, 1999
>
> - meet at Broad & Spring Gardent Streets in Philadelphia
