Speaker 1:
When Nigerian environmental and native rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was hanged on trumped-up murder charges, the Nigerian government and Shell Oil were condemned all over the world as outlaws. Now we are the outlaws of the world in the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal. As more and more wealth is sucked upward by those who don’t need it and mass rage toward corporate America swells closer and closer to the boiling point, the official response is to keep the lid clamped on, tighter and tighter. If this is allowed to keep going, what has happened to Mumia Abu-Jamal could happen to other innocent people. If allowed to go far enough, it could happen to you or me.
