For more than 23 years Zolo Agona Azania has been imprisoned on Indiana's death row and has been fighting for his life. Twice he has been sentenced to die and twice the death sentence has been reversed on appeal due to suppression of favorable evidence by the prosecution, ineffective assistance of counsel, and systematic exclusion of Blacks from the jury pool. Zolo did not receive a fair trial and has always maintained his total innocence of any involvement in the crime.

Now, in January of 2006, Zolo will face a third sentencing trial-a third attempt to put him to death-after 25 years of a living hell on death row. We must stop this injustice and save Zolo's life!

Zolo Agona Azania is one of the many persons of African descent who await execution as a victim of a racially biased criminal justice system. Politically active at the time of his arrest, Zolo has been committed to the struggle for social justice for all peoples since before his imprisonment on death row.

We say NO DEATH PENALTY FOR ZOLO because:

• THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE U.S. IS RACIST.
• THE DEATH PENALTY IN THE U.S. PUNISHES THE POOR.
• THE DEATH PENALTY CONDEMNS THE INNOCENT TO DIE.
• THE DEATH PENALTY IS NOT A DETERRENT TO VIOLENT CRIME.
• THE DEATH PENALTY IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

Zolo's supporters have formed the No Death Penalty for Zolo Committee. There are a number of ways you can join us in the struggle to prevent a new death sentence for Zolo.
