Mumia Abu-Jamal Health Alert & Action
Mumia underwent a double bypass heart surgery on April 19, 2021. His doctor prescribed a cardiac diet and regular exercise for recovery. To date, almost 3 years later, the prison has failed to provide Mumia the required cardiac diet and opportunities for exercise. The outside yard is often closed, and he has been prohibited from walking in the day room. Mumia is extremely vulnerable. His severe skin condition has flared up, causing him great discomfort including painful itching 24/7. His heart and overall health is severely affected. The prison diet and limited exercise are in violation of the standards of cardiac care and doctor’s orders. Keeping elders in prison is a human rights violation.
TAKE ACTION! It’s time we demand a heart healthy diet that includes fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, and limited highly processed foods, and we demand access for Mumia to do regular exercise every day.
Death by incarceration (DBI) must be banned. Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!
