A prominent supporter of US political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal has been sentenced to 90 days in prison for parole violation by a federal magistrate in Philadelphia. Judge Arnold Rapoport sent Clark Kissinger—a leading member of the left group Refuse & Resist!—to jail on Wednesday because the latter had traveled to Philadelphia in August, in defiance of onerous probation terms, to make a speech in defense of Abu-Jamal during protests organized outside the Republican National Convention.
