Judy Greenspan & Judith Mirkinsen on Political Prisoners’ Rights
Call Number: JG/ 101AFormat: Cass AProducers: Judy GerberCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Judy Greenspan and Judith Mirkensen advocate/advertise an International trial against the US government for crimes against the people of the US. Citing examples of the imprisoned from the Black Liberation, Puerto Rican, American, Mexican, and Native American movements, they make it clear that the US still denies that it holds any political prisoners. They argue that certain populations have been ‘third world-ed’ in the US, and that the government has committed acts of genocide, brutality, and abuse of the justice system, which must be brought to the attention of the International arena.
Certain conditions of the prisoners are highlighted, such as behavior modification attempts, health concerns, inhumane facilities, etc. The length of sentences are discussed, and Mumia and his death sentence are emphasized as well as the health of Alan Berkman.
The recording ends with reference to the International Day of Solidarity of Women Prisoners, and celebration of the escape of Assata Shakur to Cuba.
