<p>New York State Political Prisoner Jalil Muntaqim was recently
denied parole for the 8th time by the New York State Parole
Board. Jalil first became eligible for parole in 2002, and has
been <small><small>denied</small></small> parole from that time
to the present. At this point there is no longer a need to
discuss Jalil's accomplishments and why he should be home.
Instead, let's talk about the forces that are working to
influence the parole denials of Jalil Muntaqim.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Law Enforcement officials across the country, spearheaded by
The New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA), have
led a nationwide media campaign against Jalil and Herman Bell,
his co-defendant. The PBA has labeled them in the eyes of the
public as violent sixties radicals who murdered two NYC police
officers in cold blood. Police unions in San Francisco, Chicago,
New Jersey and Florida have all mobilized their ranks and have
publicly petitioned the New York State Parole Board to deny
parole for both Jalil and Herman.</p>

The Fraternal Order of Police, the same group that has lobbied
publicly for close to three decades for the execution of Mumia
Abu Jamal, have also lobbied to help keep Jalil and Herman in
prison. In fact, Sally Velasquez-Thompson: who is an active
member of the Fraternal Order of Police and the Detective
Endowment Association, was one of the parole officers assigned
to Jalil’s parole hearing in 2012.This shows the clear
connection between the police and parole board. This is similar
to the parole hearings of The Move 9, where two of the parole
officers involved in their hearings are former police officers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> People should be outraged by this, especially if you live in
New York State, because your tax dollars are paying the salaries
of these legalized terrorists called The New York State Parole
Board. Instead of the interest of the community calling for
parole for Jalil being taken into consideration, the opinion of
the police — the same police who brutalize , murder, and maim
Black ,Latino, and poor whites — is given a platform at Jalil’s
and other political prisoners parole hearings. They get the say
so on this because they are the police.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> At this point Jalil is not only a us held political prisoner.
He is also now a hostage of the New York State Parole Board and
the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> This has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with
hate and vengeance. Jalil is being made to pay for taking a
stand against this corrupt government just like the rest of our
imprisoned freedom fighters who took a stand against this rotten
corrupt government.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> It’s time to stand up and fight back. If we are as loving and
courageous as our Freedom Fighters, we will be able to bring
them back to their community and their loved ones, where they
belong.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The PBA wants to retroactively sentence our beloved Freedom
Fighters to life with parole, but this is not what the law says.
Jalil, Herman Bell, Robert Seth Hayes Mohamman Koti and Maliki
Shakur Latine have all been denied parole multiple times due to
the pernicious influence of the PBA over the parole board. Even
their own propaganda against Jalil proves that it is his ideas
they are truly afraid of.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The system tries to create the illusion that it is omnipotent,
but there are a lot of cracks in the wall, so let’s keep pushing
until all the walls come tumbling down!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Free Jalil Muntaqim and All Political Prisoners and POWs!</p>
