Diary Entry by Hans Bennett

I just received this email from Ramona Africa that the first denial of parole for 2009 has just been issued in the MOVE 9 case:

“ONAMOVE, Everybody! We were just informed that the parole has again issued the first of their decisions on the MOVE 9. They have denied parole to our brother,Eddie Africa., and given him a 2 year hit (meaning they will review him again for parole in 2 years). We will send more detailed information as to the specific excuse for the denial as we receive it. Take care and never stop resisting the insanity of this system—-Ramona”

Please continue to contact the parole board to report the remaining 7 folks who are eligible (Chuck is eligible 6 months later than the others). Contact information and a sample letter is here: http://move9parole.blogspot.com/2009/03/call-in-campaign-for-move-9.html

More more background, please check out my interview with veteran journalist Linn Washington Jr, about how his sources in the Phila PD told him that Officer Ramp was actually shot by police gunfire: http://move9parole.blogspot.com/2008/03/was-officer-ramp-killed-by-police.html

Lastly, below is my recent article on the MOVE 9, featured at Born Black Magazine:
