Freedom fighter, journalist and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal speaks out on behalf of Nestora Salgado.

Free Nestora Salgado 

Mumia Abu-Jamal is an internationally renowned journalist, author and activist from Philadelphia who has been in prison since 1981 when he was framed for shooting a police officer. Mumia spent decades on death row, which was reduced to a life sentence in 2011. Despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence, prosecutorial misconduct and police coercion of witnesses, he remains imprisoned in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. He is known as the “Voice of the Voiceless” for his award- winning commentaries.


In two broadcasts on Prison Radio, which is carried by over one hundred radio stations, Mumia explains the case of indigenous leader Nestora Salgado who is a political prisoner in Mexico. Mumia also reads excerpts from her October message to students protesting the disappearance of 43 of their classmates in Ayotzinapa in the state of Guerrero.
