American National Thread

J. whereas the state of Nebraska decided to abolish the death penalty in 2015; whereas, in 2015, 19 people have already been executed in the USA by lethal injection, including two people with intellectual disabilities: Warren Lee Hill on 27 January 2015 in Georgia and Robert Ladd on 29 January 2015 in Texas; whereas, on 17 March 2015, Cecil Clayton, a 74-year-old man with a severe brain injury was executed in Missouri; whereas the African-American prisoner, Mumia Abu-Jamal, also known as the ‘voice of the voiceless’, who was on death row from 1982 until 2011, following an unfair and racially motivated trial, until his sentence was com ...[+++]muted to life imprisonment, is still facing a very difficult situation because the state of Pennsylvania is denying him access to healthcare, which puts his life in danger; whereas Hank Skinner is still on death row in Texas despite the fact that DNA testing in his case has cast considerable doubt on his guilt;

M. whereas the afro-American prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, also named the ‘voice of the voiceless’, who is on death row since 1982 following an unfair and racially-motivated trial, can be singled out as a representative of all the thousands of people worldwide who are sentenced to death,

We would therefore ask that that time slot be used to discuss the case of Mr Mumia Abu-Jamal, the Afro-American journalist who was found guilty of murdering a policeman in 1982, following a trial based on circumstantial evidence.

However, if you look back at lessons from history, I remember when the United States used to go and promote democracy around the world and people would say, ‘What about your own backyard, what about the African-Americans who cannot vote or who are denied the ability to vote?’ Years ago, Britain and other colonial masters used to say to the colonies ‘Let us spread democracy’, yet denied the vote to women.
