Update 5/2/12: Report from the rally at Occupy DOJ – Washington DC!

On April 24th, 2012, protesters gathered in front of the Department of Justice in Washington, DC, to protest against the brutal treatment of a number of political prisoners, including Mumia Abu-Jamal and Bradley Manning. The protest was organized by several community groups who shared the common goal of sending a strong message to Eric Holder to end solitary confinement, to stop torture, and to free all political prisoners.

PFC Bradley Manning was abused for 11 months with solitary confinement. Supporters rallied around the world on April 24th during his most recent motion hearing.

Guest speakers included Mumia Abu-Jamal who spoke by telephone from prison, M-1 of Dead Prez, Kevin Zeese of the Bradley Manning Support network and many others.

End solitary confinement. End torture.
