Addressing the Issue of Political Prisoners in the United States: Mumia Abu-Jamal and Ruchell Magee
Contrary to official pronouncements, there is strong evidence that there are political prisoners in the United States even under a conservative definition of the term. Under that definition, political prisoners are activists who were either unjustly accused or whose participation in the crimes they were charged with is at least doubtful, as well as those whose punishment was excessively harsh for politcal reasons and who have been repeatedly denied release on parole for the very same reasons.
There is a whole number of such prisoners in the United States of which the American Indian Movement (AIM) activist Leonard #Peltier (incarcerated since February 6, 1976) is just one prominent example. Other examples include Mumia Abu-Jamal, Veronza #Bowers, Ruchell #Magee, and Edward #Poindexter, all of whom have also been incarcerated for more than 40 years.
In this #memorandum, we will concentrate on two of those prisoners, Mumia Abu-Jamal and Ruchell Magee, because Abu-Jamal had originally received the harshest sentence of all, the death penalty, and because his case at present is back in court again – and because Magee is the longest serving political prisoner in the history of the United States and possibly the world, having been convicted for a crime that occurred in August 1970 when he had already been unjustly behind bars since 1963.

Plz sign: Governor Newsom: Free 83-Year-Old Prisoner Ruchell Magee! Unjustly Incarcerated for 58 Years
Ruchell “Cinque” Magee, the longest-held political prisoner in the United States. Ruchell was unjustly arrested in 1963 on a trumped-up charge involving a marijuana deal gone wrong. Ruchell is now 82 years old and needs to be released immediately - not only because of his proven factual innocence in the 1963 case, but also due to his senior status and the incredible risk he faces in California’s COVID-infested prisons and jails. We are inviting your organization and all forces committed to justice - from media outlets, to community and religious organizations, to prominent individuals - to join in one collective voice demanding his freedom. The time for liberation is now! Free Ruchell Magee! Read the petition text below for more details.
