I'll be hosting Free and Fair on the Air on KAOS, tonight, Thursday, April
19th at 8pm.  I'll be talking about the upcoming oral arguments set for the
appeal of Mumia Abu-Jamal.

To listen to our stream, go here:

With me on the show will be Philadelphia-based photojournalist. Hans
Bennett.  Hans has recently written extensively on the upcoming appeal.  See
his articles here:

In December, 2001 Federal District Court Judge William Yohn affirmed
Abu-Jamal's guilt but overturned the death sentence.  Both Mumia's defense
and prosecutors appealed this ruling and on May 17th, the Third Circuit
Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments.

Please tune in to hear what could happen next regarding Mumia's case.

Calling for a new trial, the international human rights organization Amnesty
International recently declared the 1982 trial to be a "violation of minimum
international standards that govern fair trial procedures and the use of the
death penalty."

I hope you can join me.
