[Pnews] Zolo Azania released from prison after 35 years - 27 on death row

[Prisoner News]

Political prisoner and former death row inmate, Zolo Agona Azania, needs 
your help. Zolo was finally released on Monday, February 6, 2017, after 
spending 35 years in prison, 27 years on death row. Zolo is a prolific 
writer and an accomplished artist. His writings and art reflect his deep 
commitment to the Black freedom struggle and a just world for all people.

*Zolo exited prison practically penniless and faces enormous financial 
challenges. He needs to pay for housing, food, clothing, transportation, 
furniture, a cell phone, utilities, and the many other expenses we all 
encounter. *

*Zolo will seek employment but at the present time he has little 
savings. He has been paid $.35 an hour during most of the time he has 
worked inside Indiana’s prisons.*

*Let’s ease Zolo’s path and make sure he does not confront his 
  financial challenges—and all the challenges he will face--alone. 
Please donate generously.*

Zolo is alive today due to his efforts and the work of his supporters 
and a strong legal team. The Indiana Supreme Court twice reversed his 
death penalty conviction due to racially discriminatory practices that 
occurred during the trial process.

Zolo is a jailhouse lawyer. He has done legal work on his own behalf and 
for other inmates. He has acquired a paralegal certificate and has 
gained an associate degree by completing 2 years of college work.

In spite of his difficult circumstances, Zolo is a positive person with 
a quick smile and a vibrant laugh. Let’s answer his positivity with support.

All funds will go directly to Zolo and will be deposited into a fund 
managed by me, Howie Emmer. Along with others, I have visited and 
supported Zolo  for 13 years. For more information contact: 
zoloazania.org <http://www.zoloazania.org/> and Chicago Committee to 
Free Black Political Prisoners on Facebook.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
