FREE MUMIA-RALLY IN OSLO
The Support-comitee for Mumia Abu-Jamal in Oslo, Norway, which is based at the
autonomous youth-house Blitz, arranged a FREE MUMIA-demonstration at Dec.
13th. to mark the day of the arrest of Mumia. At the legal part of the demo, a
representative for the Norwegian Journalist Union held a support-speech for
theircollegeagua sentenced to death, Mumia Abu-Jamal. This is the first time
the Norwegian Journalist Union have taken a open stand in support of Mumia. A
representative from Blitz and also a famous stand-up comedian held solidaric
and political speaches in support of Mumia.
After the legal part of the demonstration, about 250 people went to the US
Embassy for a protest outside the representatives for the repressive american
"justice". For unknown resasons, this move came as a suprise on the police,
even if we allways goes to the US. Embassy to protest against the death
sentence against Mumia. The police had some problems to stop the demonstrators
in front of the embassy, but we soon gave up to get through to the embassy,
and in sted we "executed" the Electric Chair. Blitz had built a true model of
the barbaric electric chair, and after placing the Death with an american flag
in hand, we connected the chair to electrisity, and with sparkles and fire,
the electric chair exploded and burnt for more than 20 minutes. The
pyrotechnical team and model builders at Blitz had made a great job! The
police did't dare to try to stop the demo, because probably they remembered
the riots in the streets for Mumia that president Clintons visit in Oslo last
month arouse.
