Uhuru Movement leader Diop Olugbala may be sentenced on Wednesday, October 13 to as much as ten years in prison for speaking out for the black community in a peaceful free speech protest in Philadelphia.
On August 24, despite receiving hundreds of calls and letters from around the world in support of Diop (see a letter from a supporter in the UK), judge Roxanne Covington handed down the political verdict - guilty of felony aggravated assault on a cop.
Video of the March 19, 2009 incident shows police physically attack Diop and other City Hall protesters. Police snatch his protest banner, choke and punch him in full public view. Yet Diop is the one now facing a ten year prison sentence!
The charges, trial and verdict are clearly political. Diop is known in Philadelphia and across the country as a bold and outspoken Uhuru Movement leader, demanding economic development for the black community and an end to police terror and mass imprisonment of African people.
The sentencing hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, October 13. We need to jam up the judge's office with as many calls and letters as possible.
