Germany: Militant Actions For Mumia

	On July 3, autonomist and women's/lesbian groups sprayed slogans, 
smashed windows, glued locks, and damaged ATM machines at 7 branches of 
the American bank Citibank. Ten days later, the "Commando Assata Shakur" 
attacked a Chrystler dealer in Kassel. These are just two actions out of 
many which have taken place in Germany over the past few months (demos, 
petitions, benefit concerts) as part of the global campaign to free 
Mumia. Since other groups are doing a good job of filling in Mumia 
supporters about the wide variety of solidarity work being done around 
the world, we'll continue to provide information and translations from 
the segments of the movement which we usually cover. So, having said 
that, here are a few more communiques from comrades in Germany.

Stop The Execution Of Mumia Abu-Jamal!

	Several locks glued shut, paint all over the walls of the offices 
of the U.S. airline company Delta (Lyonerstrasse 36), this should be a 
clear sign to all American firms and corporations that we will not allow 
Black journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal to be executed!
	In the event that the governor of Pennsylvania and the U.S. 
government decide to go through with their plans and carry out their 
racist death penalty, we will not hesitate to carry out further actions 
against American interests in Germany!!!

Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!
Abolish The Racist Death Penalty!

	Mumia Abu-Jamal is a political prisoner and is on death row in 
Pennsylvania/USA. He is scheduled to be executed on August 17.
	Mumia, we send you our warm greetings!
	A fire unites us - in our hearts, and in the McDonald's in 
Rostock. For Citibank in Rostock as well, today was not business as usual 
since their locks were glued shut and their windows were smashed.

Stop The Execution Of Mumia Abu-Jamal!!!!!!!!

	On the night of August 9-10, we set a Chrystler car on fire at 
the Chrystler dealership "Autosalon am Elsterwerdaer" at 
Kopenickerstrasse 78 in Berlin-Biesdorf.
	Black journalist and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, who has 
been on death row in the American state of Pennsylvania for more than 13 
years now, is scheduled to be executed on August 17. The death warrant 
was signed on June 1. The justification for this was a series of 
fabrications which the media accepted as proof. At the beginning of this 
week, it was announced that the execution was to be delayed. But this 
partial victory is no reason for the movement to stop and just sit back 
and watch the legal arguments develop. Rather we should gather together 
all of our strength and push forward to achieve our ultimate political 
goal: Mumia's freedom.
	For a racist judicial system, allowing and threatening the death 
penalty is a means of literally destroying all forms of opposition to the 
system; it is state-sponsored murder as a means of counter-insurgency. In 
several countries, campaigns to free Mumia have taken on many forms: 
Militant actions are and will always be a legitimate means of 
overstepping the "legal" boundaries of protest which limit us to appeals 
and collecting petition signatures. At decisive moments during current 
campaigns, we think it's important to carry out militant actions to make 
it perfectly clear to people just how life-threatening the situation is. 
Only in this way can we bring the politics into the public consciousness 
and effect the necessary pressure.
	Our action against an American corporation should not be viewed 
as simple "anti-Americanism", which equates the USA as the "center of 
evil" controlling all political, military, and economic power and thereby 
overlooks the other imperialist power blocs (the European Union, the 
Japan-dominated Pacific Rim).
	Our action is designed to make known the militant praxis in 
Germany against the still threatened execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal and to 
intervene in the continuing campaign for Mumia's life and freedom.
	Warm greetings to the "Autonomist Parcel Service" and the 
autonomist and women's/lesbian groups "For the Life of Mumia Abu-Jamal" 
and the "Commando Assata Shakur".
