SAMPLE LETTER

US Department of Justice
Washington, DC
April 2009

To Eric Holder, US Attorney General:

We write to you with a sense of grave concern and outrage about the US
Supreme Court's denial of a hearing to Mumia Abu-Jamal on the issue of
racial bias in jury selection, that is, the "Batson issue". Inasmuch
as there is no other court to which Abu-Jamal can appeal for justice,
we turn to you for remedy of a 27- year history of gross violations of
US constitutional law and international standards of justice as
documented by Amnesty International and many other legal groups around
the world.

We call on you and the Justice Department to immediately commence a
civil rights investigation to examine the many examples of egregious
and racist prosecutorial and judicial misconduct dating back to the
original trial in 1982 and continuing through to the current inaction
of the US Supreme Court. The statute of limitations should not be a
factor in this case as there is very strong evidence of an ongoing
conspiracy to deny Abu-Jamal his constitutional rights.

We are aware of the many differences that exist between the case of
former Senator Ted Stevens and Mumia Abu-Jamal. Still, we note with
great interest the actions you have taken with regard to Senator
Stevens' conviction to assure that he not be denied his constitutional
rights. You were specifically outraged by the fact that the
prosecution withheld information critical to the defense's argument
for acquittal, a violation clearly committed by the prosecution in Abu-
Jamal's case. Mumia Abu-Jamal, though not a US senator of great
wealth and power, is a Black man revered around the world for his
courage, clarity, and commitment and deserves no less than Senator
Stevens.

Cordially,

NAME
