Mumia Abu-Jamal in Hospital/ ICU

On the same day that a federal judge heard arguments about the “mental anguish” law being challenged on First Amendment grounds by Mumia Abu-Jamal, among others, the convicted cop killer has been hospitalized, according to his supporters.

According to Noelle Hanrahan, a friend of Abu-Jamal and PrisonRadio.org director, the prisoner was taken to the intensive care unit of Schuylkill Medical Center in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, at 1 p.m. on Monday afternoon. The hospital is about 10 miles from SCI-Mahanoy, where Abu-Jamal is incarcerated.

She later explained that two supporters learned of the condition when they went to visit Abu-Jamal at the prison and received information that he had been hospitalized.
