News About
the Court
Injunction Against HB2376
Arizona tried to ban prisoners from communication with people through
third parties over the internet.
The CCADP filed suit against the state, and had the legislation thrown out as unconstitutional.
A Federal Judge ruled that banning our webpages would cause "irreparable harm to the First Amendment."
ABOLITIONISTS ABANDON MUMIA ABU JAMAL
?
At the recent 4th World Congress Against The Death Penalty The Texas Coalition Against The Death Penalty, Death Penalty Focus, and Murder Families for Reconciliation amongst others, endorsed a secret agreement to no longer support Death Row Prisoner and Activist Mumia Abu Jamal under political pressure from The Fraternal Order of Police.
"...to protect our vital alliances with our key partners and constituencies" - (From secret memo dated December 2009, see links below for more information on the incident)
Throwing Mumia Abu-Jamal Under the Bus | Read the whole secret memo
The CCADP no longer supports those organizations or their work as legitimate and encourages other abolitionists to not support them either. As abolitionists, we support the commutation of Mumia's sentence regardless of issues surrounding his guilt or innocence, political pressure, or concern about what the Fraternal Order of Police might think !
