August 8th, 1978, The MOVER 9 were arrested for a murder they did not commit, and have been in prison ever since.  In a telephone interview, Consuelo Africa described the event.  After serving 30 years, the MOVE 9 became eligible for parole, however, their parole has been denied.  Consuelo urged us to exert public pressure to release these political prisoners.  She urged us to contact Pennslyvania Governor Edward Rendell, Philadelphia's Mayor and others to support these folks.  For more information you can visit Move's website and/or email [email protected] or call 215-387-4107.
