The San Francisco 8 are eight former “original” Black Panther Party
members and active supporters, (ages 56 to 72), who were arrested last
January in California, New York and Florida on charges related to the 1971
killing of a San Francisco police officer. Some of these men faced
virtually identical charges almost 35 years ago—charges that were dropped,
after it was revealed that police torture had extracted “confessions”
justifying the case.

But that was in 1973. Now that torture has been made acceptable in this
country, the case is back on—based on the same flawed evidence. The judge
has released the 6 bail-eligible defendants on bond, suggesting to legal
experts that this case is a shaky one.

Two of the 8 defendants are not eligible for bail. They are Political
Prisoners Herman Bell and Jalil Muntaqim. Both have already served more
than 34 years in New York state prisons. This new case charges them again
with actions for which they are already serving time.

Come welcome home four of the SF8 defendants
and learn more about the case!
