Mumia Abu-Jamal: America’s Most Polarizing Case

For more than four decades, one name has divided America, inspired activists and kept Philadelphia at the center of one of the nation's most polarizing criminal cases: Mumia Abu-Jamal. To supporters, the former journalist and Black Panther is a political prisoner whose unjust conviction is a clear example of racial bias, prosecutorial misconduct and the failures of the criminal justice system. To others, including the family of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner and many in law enforcement, he is a convicted cop killer whose conviction has withstood decades of appeals. The debate has never truly ended. Now, Abu-Jamal's legal team has taken his fight beyond U.S. courts, petitioning the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention to weigh in on his incarceration.
