Biography
Shabaka Mnombatha was arrested on March 19, 2009.
Defenestrator reported the arrests of Uhuru organizers Diop Olugbala and Shabaka Mnombatha during Philadelphia City Council proceedings discussed in the April 2009 issue. It reported aggravated-assault, obstruction and resisting-arrest accusations and alleged police violence against the organizers, including a neck hold on Olugbala. The report links their arrests to protest against city budget cuts and gives no complete custody duration. Defenestrator, issue 44, April 2009, original PDF page 5.

The Uhuru Solidarity Movement contemporary account published March 20, 2009 identifies Shabaka Mnombatha, also known as Franklin Moses, as arrested during the March 19, 2009 Philadelphia City Council protest. Its January 28, 2010 follow-up independently repeats that arrest date. The numeric date is corroborated despite the earlier account giving an inconsistent weekday. Neither account establishes actual jail admission or discharge dates, so no custody duration or release date is inferred.
