Dear friend,
*This morning, Monday April 6th, another visit with Mumia will be attempted
so that his family and supporters can check on his condition. Mumia was
visited on Friday and he is still in medical danger.* His blood sugar
levels are not stable, shooting up to 300 at one point on Friday, he had to
be taken to the visiting room in a wheel chair, he has lost substantial
weight, and has other symptoms that require specialized diagnostic and
treatment care that is not available at the prison infirmary.
Let us be clear: The prison is enacting arbitrary and capricious rule
changes each time folks call or visit. Yet, the pattern is not in the
direction of access and care. In fact the prison is limiting communication
and preventing a treatment plan from being put in place. Rise up for Mumia.
Take Action Now. Call, Rally, and Demand he receive care.

*Action Alert: Demand that Mumia see a diabetes specialist*
On Monday, March 30, Mumia Abu-Jamal lost consciousness at the State
Correctional Institution (SCI) Mahanoy and had to be rushed to the
hospital. He was admitted with a blood sugar level of 779, suffering from
diabetic shock, and a dangerously high sodium level of 160. His wife,
Wadiya Jamal and son Jamal Hart were informed by doctors that he has new
onset diabetes, and that on arrival his kidneys were abnormal and he had a
high sodium level that risked brain damage. This medical emergency followed
several months of health problems, including elevated glucose levels, that
were not adequately addressed by prison health care staff, resulting in a
rapid deterioration in his condition with near-fatal consequences.
After being held incommunicado for approximately 24 hours, family members
were permitted to visit on Tuesday and Wednesday in response to an
international outcry. On Wednesday, April 1, Mumia was transported back to
the prison infirmary despite not ever seeing a diabetes specialist and
without a diagnosis of the cause of his diabetic shock, or a treatment plan.
Mumia was visited on Friday and he is still in medical danger. His blood
sugar levels are not stable, shooting up to 300 at one point on Friday, he
had to be taken to the visiting room in a wheel chair, he has lost
substantial weight, and has other symptoms that require specialized
diagnostic and treatment care that is not available at the prison infirmary.
Mumia must see a diabetes specialist (endocrinologist) in order to be
properly diagnosed and provided with an individual treatment plan specific
to him. Prison officials have a constitutional obligation to treat serious
medical needs, and that includes providing specialist care when it is
medically indicated. Newly onset diabetes with fluctuating blood sugar
levels and a range of potentially related health problems requires
specialist care.
Inadequate treatment of diabetes is deadly and can lead to loss of kidney
function, nerve neuropathy and amputation of feet and hands.
Take action now – demand that the Department of Corrections permit Mumia to
have a diabetes specialist of his choosing:
