The time has come to intensify the struggle for the release of our Comrade Ajamu Bandele (Orlando Gibson) - International Outreach Director of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement - from the clutches of the York County Prison system and Pennsylvania Parole Board. Comrade Ajamu was arrested by the York County Police Department on Wednesday, October 29th and framed up with charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

The InPDUM has been organizing to expose Ajamu's arrest as a set up by the York Police Department, an attack on the African Liberation Movement and an attempt to undermine the very important political work Ajamu was doing in the community!

At the same time, the Pennsylvannia Parole Board has placed a detainer on Ajamu's bond, denying his the ability to return to his family and community as he awaits his preliminary hearing and the trial that may follow it.

Ajamu has a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, December 2nd at the York County Courthouse - at which time York County Magistrate Richard Martin will make a determination as to whether there is enough "evidence" for the case to go to a trial. Should the case go to trial, a determination will also be made by the Pennsylvania Parole Board as to whether the detainer on his bond shall be lifted.

We must act today!
