On April 12, Zack de la Rocha, lead singer of Rage Against the
Machine, addressed the United Nation's International Commission of
Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland.  He spoke on the case of Mumia
Abu-Jamal and the U.S. use of the death penalty.  

The Commission agreed to meet with Zack at the command of the
Humanitarian Law Project, a non-governmental group that consults the
UN on worldwide compliance of human rights law.  

On April 24 in Philadelphia, Zack will be on stage describing his
testimony and other activism.

Rage Against the Machine, along with Beastie Boys, Bad Religion, Black
Star, Chuck D, and others, performed a controversial benefit concert
for Mumia on January 28 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey.
