 Farrakhan
challenges leaders to seek justice in peace process
CHICAGO�Leaders today are demonstrating
bankruptcy in the quality of leadership necessary in this time of world
crisis, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan declared April 14 to
nearly 4,000 people crammed into Mosque Maryam and the adjoining
gymnasium of Muhammad University of Islam. As a result, the
conflict between Israelis and Palestinians threatens to draw the world
into a global war, he said. �I�m going to do everything in my
power to stop this war,� the outspoken Minister told the audience. �If
you don�t try to stop it over there, the same will (one day) be at your
doorstep,� he warned.
100th Death Row inmate freed
WASHINGTON�The governors of the 38 states which still
permit capital punishment should declare a moratorium to prevent the
execution of innocent people, death penalty opponents argued as the
100th innocent prisoner was freed from death row April 8. The 100 prisoners who have been freed from death row since
1976�mostly after DNA evidence conclusively proved their
innocence�represent the exception rather than the rule in the U.S.
capital punishment system, according to William F. Schulz, executive
director of Amnesty International USA (AIUSA).
