Mumia Abu-Jamal petitions UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention

Mumia Abu-Jamal has filed a petition with the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention following the exhaustion of domestic legal appeals in the United States. The move seeks international review of his 44-year incarceration, though the UN body lacks the authority to compel a reversal of US court rulings. The petition highlights ongoing efforts to challenge the legitimacy of his 1981 conviction.
