Tonight we are talking with Agyei Tyehimba and Munyiga Nosakhere, two brothers On A Move.
Comarade Agyei has a petition on Change.org petitioning President Obama to do four things. They are as follows,
1. Launch a federal and state investigation to determine the validity of Ms. Shakur's initial conviction and prison sentence
2. Rescind Ms. Shakur's status as a "terrorist."
3. Terminate any bounty or "reward" for assisting in her capture.
4. Exonerate Ms. Shakur of ALL criminal charges and the need to serve the remainder of her (unjust) prison sentence.
Comrade Muniga is a member and organizer within the Black Autonomy Federation and has a long resume. He has been active in a number of Black Autonomy campaigns against police terror, racism/white supremacy, African empowerment, and numerous other issues. First influenced at 10yrs old by the LA Branch of the Black Panther Party; Munyiga was active in several Black Revolutionary Nationalist groups in the early 70's. (After the LA /BPP chapters demise).
He will be informing us on the upcoming 2nd Annual Black Power Conference set for June 8 in Memphis, TN. The conference will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Little Theater of the Alma C. Hanson Student Center at LeMoyne-Owen College, 807 Walker Ave. in Memphis. A $5 donation is requested. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
We received a message of solidarity from Cuba that we want to share with our listeners as it is a message for all of us.
Paulette Dauteuil, General Secretary of the Jericho Movement will be joining us tonight on Political Prisoner Radio to update us on the health of several political prisoners being held by the US government.
Many of our comrades who fought for the social/political/human rights of the masses are now fighting to get adequate treatment for their health issues developed in some cases because of the poor conditions under which they are held. In some cases, they are literally fighting for their lives. We will do our best to give you the latest information.
Political captives we hope to update you on are Mutulu Shakur, Norberto Gonzalez, Mondo We Langa and Lynne Stewart.
Bro. Zayid Muhammad of the People's Organization for Progress joins us to discuss several issues related to political prisoners, exiles and the killing of Malcolm Shabazz.
POP is planning another protest at Cineplex 12, Newark’s only major theater which stirred up controversy after it refused to show the new film titled "MUMIA: Long Distance Revolutionary" which focuses on political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal and his contribution as an author and commentator.
We will also get his thoughts on the recent addition of Assata Shakur to the FBI's most wanted "terrorist" list and the erection of the FBI billboards of Assata in Newark.
Finally we discuss the constantly changing stories coming from the media about the killing of Malcolm X's grandson Malcolm Shabazz who was talked into traveling to Mexico by deported Mexican activist Miguel Suarez who many say has holes in his account of what happened.
Join me for Political Prisoner Radio tonight to discuss the breaking news concerning the tragic murder of Malcolm Shabazz, a political and human rights activist and organizer who reportedly was found murdered today in Tijuana, Mexico.
Earlier today I spoke to attorney activist Nkechi Tiafu who shared statements from the NY National Lawyers Guild and The National Conference of Black Lawyers in reference to Assasta Shakur being labeled a "domestic terrorist" by the United States government.
Join me for Political Prisoner Radio tonight with Sis. Pam Africa to discuss corporate and state sponsored environmental terrorism, seedless veggies possibly destroying the seeds in our wombs, the Newark, NJ cancellation of Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary and more.
Before we hear from Sis. Pam Africa, I want to share an important update about Sis. Assata Shakur as the United States government, perhaps angry at the attention Cuba received after Jay-Z and Beyonce visited the island which caused a new generation to question why the United States has a travel ban on the country, the FBI has double its reward for her capture and placed her on its "most wanted terrorists" list possibly making her a target for President Obama's drone assassination program.
