[Note 1] Innocent political prisoner, government frame-up victim, journalist, author and lifelong fighter for human freedom and dignity, Mumia Abu-Jamal and 10,000 other prisoners have been denied readily available medical treatment to cure Hepatitis C. Mumia contracted Hepatitis C, a liver disease that can remain dormant for decades, when he received a hospital blood transfusions in 1981 following his near death shooting at the hands of Philadelphia police. His first court appeal demanding treatment for a disease that is almost always curable, was recently denied by a Pennsylvania court. His attorneys have appealed to a higher court.
