NEW EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE INNOCENCE OF MALACHI YORK

Macon, GA - (4/22/04) There is new evidence to exonerate and prove the innocence of Malachi York. The sentencing which is to be held Thursday, April 22, 2004 at 10:00am in Macon, GA, at the Federal Court House must be stopped now.

For more information and a copy of the new evidence, please call (706) 340-1685, or go to www.unnm.com

York tells supporters, "Everybodies moving, they are trying to give me 50 years tomorrow if we do not act fast today. Notify all media and tell them that there are video tapes of every alledged victim including Abigail Washington the main victim coming forward on tape stating that they were threatened by the government to falsely testify and say that Dr. Malachi Z. York molested them. They have all admitted that he did not do it and that they were threatened to say that he did, and it is on tape on tama-ra right now!"

Judge Ashley C. Royal is ignoring the video-taped evidence which proves Dr. Malachi Z. York innocence and is trying to sentence and lynch an innocent man to 50 years in federal Prison.

Supporters are encouraged to call in to radio stations and let them know that there is last minute evidence in the form of video-taped confessions that prove is innocence undoubtedly!

It is all on tape!

Alhaji Aliu Mahama at his office in Accra, Ghana

On April 11 - 18 2004, there will be a trade delegation to Ghana. It is open to those who are interested in looking at Ghana as a potential venue to do business. In the March 2004 edition of The New African magazines featured Ghana in an excellent cover story showing that Ghana is focusing on business and foreign investment. The ruling party of Ghana, the NPP, faces elections at the end of this year. The article highlighted the accomplishments that have been made by the NPP and how Ghana is now open for business.

There are many in the African American community that have visited Ghana and seen the historical sites but have not taken advantage of the business opportunities that exist in Ghana. Ghana is rich in natural resources, i.e., cocoa, gold, diamonds, salt, palm oil, shea nuts, textiles, sorghum and timber.

Akbar Muhammad a resident of Ghana for 14 years is taking a delegation to look at the potential of Ghana especially the northern area. There are also opportunities in the expanding real estate market, particularly in modular homes.

The trip will include not only meetings with government officials and business people in the private sector but also a stop at some of the historical spots while in Ghana.

For copies of the March 2004 edition of The New African magazine featuring Ghana or for information on the delegation, you can call (314) 963-0913 or e-mail africandtheworld@aol.com
