NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION DEMANDING CLEAN WATER IN PA PRISON'S</span></b></p>

</span></b><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"> Since August of
2016, Mumia Abu-Jamal and other Inmates at the State
Correctional Facility in Mahanoy, Pennsylvania, have been
plagued with unsafe drinking and bath water.</span></b><b><span
style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#505050;"></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="
line-height:13.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"> For
several months now, inmates have complained about brown, oily
water in both the showers and the faucets of their cells. This
has been an on-and-off problem from August 2016 to this very
day. One of the inmates at SCI Mahanoy, Lorenzo Cat Johnson,
when asked of the matter, stated that one week the water seems
good and another week, when run, the water seems to go from
the color gray to the color brown.</span></b><b><span
style="font-size:13.5pt;
color:#505050;"></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="
line-height:13.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"> As
recently as last week in a conversation with MOVE Political
Prisoner Edward Africa, Eddie was asked what he did for water
and he stated that he obtained his water from a hot water
filter that was on his cellblock. So other than the
alternative to obtain a little water from a hot water filter,
men are being forced to shower and wash in brown water. Eddie
stated that the only time inmates can get bottled water is
when they are on a visit in the visiting room. All the while,
prison staff are being provided bottled water at SCI Mahanoy
and are being told not to drink the water because it's unsafe.</span></b><b><span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="
line-height:13.5pt;"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;"> Mumia
Abu-Jamal, who is suffering from a very serious skin condition
due to Hepatitis C, is required to take specialized baths in
the prison infirmary, but has not been able to take these
baths due to the water hazard. Grievances have been filed on
this matter, but to no avail--the water situation has not been
resolved.</span></b><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;
