Prisoner Healthcare Rights & Hepatitis C

Tune in for an hour of news, information and commentary on US held political prisoners.

Tonight we will re-air a portion of a press conference that took place at 1199 Healthcare Workers Union in New York. The press conference was concerning prisoners, Hepatitis C and the refusal of prison administrators to provide medical treatment. Hepatitis C is a communicable disease that prisons are choosing to let spread among inmates.

The Abolitionists Law Center argues that "Health care and a healthy environment is a human right for prisoners and non-prisoners alike." Attorney Bret Grote is representing political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamaal in his lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections which is withholding treatment from him for Hepatitis C.

The case could have an impact on prisoners healthcare rights across the United States.

Mumia Abu-Jamal is the lone voice in tonight's Political Prisoner Radio Mix. Topics he touches on include fear mongering, banning Syrian Refugees, politics and finance.

Albert Woodfox, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Seth Hayes & Political Violence in France

Herman Bell is political prisoner who was active during the 60s movement to make Black Lives Matter in the fight for social justice. Herman was active with the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army. Mr. Bell is coming up for parole once again and once again the racist white supremacists and police brutality supporter Pat Lynch of the NYC PBA. Each and every time as is usually the case with Police Unions across the nation, Pat Lynch and the PBA launches a media demonization propaganda program to influence the parole process.

Pat Lynch and the thuggish NYC PBA are right now engaged in a propaganda campaign to smear and demonize Quentin Tarantino for speaking out against police brutality and standing in solidarity with the movement against widespread police violence in the USA.

There is another medical emergency alert and call to action for Robert Seth Hayes. Please read the call to action on his behalf on our Political Prisoner Radio Facebook page via NYC Jericho and his advocates.

The Jericho Movement says, “IN PRISON 42 YEARS, Seth first came up for parole in 1998, but prison officials have refused to release him, and are effectively punishing him for having been a member of the Black Panther Party, and of having remained true to his ideals after 30 years behind bars.”.

The campaign to free the NATO3 has posted an update and medical alert for Jared Chase.

“Chase has dismissed both his NLG attorneys and his public defender, and his trial for allegedly assaulting guards has been postponed yet again until December 7. He continues to face harsh treatment in custody, including losing "good time," losing visitation rights, having personal property destroyed, spending time in solitary confinement and even being housed on suicide watch (despite not being suicidal). He has gone on many hunger strikes as his only recourse to demand that they meet his medical and nutritional needs, without much success.In October of 2014, Chase wrote to several supporters, “I am a transgender woman,” asking to be referred to as Maya Chase.” Read more…

In international solidarity news, the Israelis have been on another brutal campaign to suppress the rights of Palestinians and have been killing people and refusing others medical attention after they have been shot in the streets so they can bleed out. Recently they arrested a 14 year old Palestinian girl, Tamara Abu Laban, accusing her of incitement through Facebook because of course Facebook is a major tool governments use to spy on citizens and those they are oppressing.

The Framing of Jamil Al-Amin (H Rap Brown) & The Omaha Two

Tune in for an hour of news, information and commentary on the state of political prisoners held within the United States.

Tonight one of our family members needs help. Ameejill Whitlock is the co-host and co-producer of Political Prisoner Radio which has been on air for the past three years on the Black Talk Radio Network. She started her activism on behalf of political prisoners as a teenager and the work has continued to this date. She has also been involved in Baltimore rebellion helping to organize behind the scenes as protest rocked the city over the killing of Freddy Grey.

Ameejill's mother whom was in poor health and Ameejill has been providing care for, recently passed away. Like many families with long-term illnesses in the family, Ameejill and her young son may be homeless in 30 days if the bank forecloses on her mother's home. One of Ameejill's comrades, Kevin James has set up a fundraiser which hopes of raising at least $3,000 for Ameejill and her son.

Information has come to my attention that authorities knew or know that Imam Jamil Al-Amin who is widely know by his former name H Rap Brown when he was with SNCC and the Black Panther Party, is in fact ,innocent of the murder and assault on two Fulton County Georgia sheriff deputies. In fact, another man has confessed for the crime so why is it that those involved would rather frame our elder brother instead of seeking justice for the officers? Is it because of his name and past work and fear that he could become relevant in the current movement against police violence and terrorism?

We also get an update on the case and his health via an interview his wife Mrs. Karima Al-Amin recently did with BlockReportRadio.Com.

Today is the birthday of former Black Panther Ed Poindexter. Ed Poindexter and Mondo We Langa together are known as the Omaha Two, victims of a COINTELPRO plot to frame them for a bombing that killed a police officer.
