    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.

    *National Call in Day*
    *Today April 6th (see *numbers below)
    
    *Rally April 6th Monday 11am *
    *PA Department of Corrections, 1920 Technology Parkway, Mechanicsburg, PA*
    
    
    *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:
