AUT: Fw: [CCFMAJ-Organizers] Fwd: Fw: Sinn Féin bans Visi

["Chris Wright" <cwright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is this some shit or what?  Anyone have any doubts about the depths to which
nationalism can sink and its petty bartering for state power?

I can't write anymore because this just pisses me off.

>>
>>
>>Sinn Féin has banned Daisy Mules, a teacher from Derry and former member
>>of Sinn Féin's executive council, from visiting Mumia Abu-Jamal in a
>>prison at Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, and a number of inmates on death row
>>in Texas next month to avoid alienating President Bush! Abu-Jamal has
>>been on death row since 1982 after being convicted of the murder of
>>Daniel Faulkner, a Philadelphia police officer.
>>
>>Mumia Abu-Jamal is an African-American journalist. He was shot by a
>>police officer when he intervened in a street incident involving Jamal's
>>brother, another man and the officer. He survived the shooting, and was
>>charged with the murder of the officer who was killed in the incident. No
>>one else was charged.
>>
>>The prosecution demanded the death sentence on the basis of Abu-Jamal's
>>political beliefs. The FBI had a 600-page file on him, which included
>>notes on how he regularly exposed incidents of police brutality! In the
>>sentencing phase of his trial, the prosecutor used political quotes from
>>an interview with Jamal from ten years earlier as an argument to the jury
>>for his execution.
>>
>>Nora Dwyer, a member of the Irish Unity Committee in Houston, Texas, told
>>Abu-Jamal in a letter that:
>>
>>"Mitchel McLaughlin, the Sinn Féin chairperson, and Friends of Sinn Féin
>>are withdrawing permission for Daisy to visit you as well as the
>>prisoners on Texas death row. The reason given is that Sinn Féin sees the
>>'peace process' in Ireland at a critical point. They are now concerned
>>about the effect such a visit will have on the role the US government
>>will take in the coming months."
