<b>Legacy of Torture #08-07 <br>
</b> <br>
In 1971, John Young, a San Francisco police officer was killed. Members
of the Black Panther party were arrested, charged and then tortured by
San Francisco and New Orleans police. Since the police used torture to
extract their confessions, eventually, the charges were dismissed. Now
more than 35 years later, the case has been reopened. On January 23rd,
2007, some of those same men were arrested again.<br>
<br>
In this special documentary from the Freedom Archives, we hear from some
of the accused men themselves. They describe the torture and how they
were targeted for their political activities.<br>
<br>
Featuring: Ray Boudreaux, John Bowman, Richard Brown, Hank Jones, former
Black Panther and Harold Taylor, former Black Panthers; Soffiyah Elijah,
attorney.<br>
