Political Prisoner Radio Weekly 12/27/2015

Tonight we will be highlighting two political prisoners. During the first half-hour we will be speaking to Prisoner Radio's Noelle Hanrahan to get an update on the case involving long held political prisoner and revolutionary Mumia Abu-Jamal.

The courts are currently hearing the case of Abu-Jamal v. Kerestes. The case centers around the refusal of medical treatment to adequately treat the Hepatitis C virus that Mumia suffers from. The case has had some explosive revelations as of late and Noelle Hanrahan will share those with us tonight. This case could have wider implications concerning the human rights of prisoners to get access to the healthcare they need.

During the second half-hour we will be speaking with Josie Shapiro who is a political prisoner advocate for Eric G. King, a 28-year-old vegan anarchist who was arrested and charged with the attempted firebombing of a government official’s office in Kansas City, MO in September 2014. He is currently being held in facilities run by the private prison profiteer and human trafficking company, Corrections Corporation of America and reportedly is being targeted and abused by guards as he is held in solitary confinement.

US Supreme Court holds Native Hawaiians as political hostages

Tune in for an hour of news, information and commentary concerning political prisoners.

Today will share the latest news concerning a previous report about the re-establishment of the overthrown Kingdom of Hawaii which was cleared by the Obama administration to hold a vote to determine if the Hawaiians would get their country back. That process has now been blocked by the US Supreme Court and why we say every non-assimilated Native Hawaiian is a political prisoner and prisoner of war.

We will share some of the latest political prisoner events posted to our Facebook page Political Prisoner Radio.

Two Political Prisoner Birthdays this week are Stanley L. Cohen (Dec 6) and Zolo Agona Azania (Dec 12).

Tonight an unusually long Political Prisoner Radio Mix made from clips of prisoners Mumia Abu-Jamal, Asar Imhotep Amen, and Kenneth Hartman. The audio commentaries are recorded and posted by Prison Radio. Visit Prison Radio and support their work.

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.
