Dear Friends & Comrades,

MUMIA NEEDS US AGAIN! PLEASE CALL, FAX, AND E-MAIL NOW!

We are concerned about Mumia’s deteriorating health, as has been witnessed in recent weeks by his visiting doctor, clergy, counselors, teachers, family and friends.

Evidence of intensifying Hepatitis C symptoms and possible development of the diabetes that nearly killed him a year ago calls for immediate and appropriate treatment. We, therefore, urge you to,

DEMAND

• Immediate provision to Mumia of anti-viral treatment to cure his Hepatitis C condition that is, as his doctor testified in court, the persistent cause of worsening skin disease, almost certain liver damage, now extreme weight-gain and hunger, and other diabetic-like conditions.

• Immediate release of all recent blood test results to Mumia’s attorneys.

• Vigilant monitoring of Mumia for signs of diabetes, especially of his blood sugar level, since a diabetes attack nearly killed Mumia last Spring of 2015.

PHONE, FAX, AND E-MAIL THESE DEMANDS TO:

PA GOVERNOR, TOM WOLF

Phone: 717-787-2500

Fax: 717-772-8284

E-mail: governor@pa.gov

PA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, SECRETARY, JOHN WETZEL

Phone: 717-728-2573, 717 787 2500

E-mail: ra-contactdoc@pa.gov

MAHANOY PRISON, SUPERINTENDENT, Theresa DelBalso

Phone: 570-773-2158

(You have to be transferred to her secretary, and she refuses to give out the fax number or e-mail for the Superintendent. Not surprising, given that this new superintendent has a very heavy military background)
