[Freethe SF8] New York City - Save the Date for the SF-8: November 30

[SF-8 case]

*Save the date for the SF-8*

*NYC, Friday, November 30, 7 pm*

*Defend the legacy of the Black Panther Party*


The San Francisco 8 are eight former Black 
Panthers (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 same men 
faced virtually identical charges almost 35 years 
ago ­ charges that were dropped, after it was 
revealed that police tortured most of them in 
order to extract “confessions” justifying the case.

But that was in 1973: Now that torture is 
acceptable in this country, the case is back on ­ based on the same evidence.

The judge has released the 6 bail-eligible 
defendants on bond, suggesting to legal experts that this case is a shaky one.

2 of the 8 defendants are not eligible for bail. 
They are 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.

Learn more about this case from some of the SF-8 
who were able to get bail ­ and welcome home 
defendant Cisco Torres, released on bail and now 
back with his family in Queens.

Save Friday, November 30th at 7:00 p.m. Check the 
web sites of the Committee to Free the SF-8 
(www.freethesf8.org) or the Jericho Movement 
(www.thejerichomovement.com) for place.

history of all our struggles for justice.
