Jalil Muntaqim interview (3 of 4)
Middle of his story from end of tape 2 about creating a national movement around freeing political prisoners. Met a white guy named Commie Mike who told him about the UPU, United Prisoners Union, formerly run by Popeye Jackson, who was just killed at the time. Contacts Sundiata Acoli about representing the E. Coast. Tremendous response from prisoners throughout the country (political and non) about UN appeal for clemency for political prisoners//prisoners of war. UPU was overwhelmed and so Prairie Fire Organizing Committee produced a pamphlet and brought attorney Katherine Burke from Amnesty International onto the case. Jalil taught her about domestic revolutionary struggle and she taught him about international law. Two different dynamics on the W. and E. Coast. W. Coast was progressive/revolutionary white folks and E. Coast was black folks in the Black Panther Party/RNA/APP and other revolutionary nationalists. Katherine went to Geneva and there was a huge international response given that the US always uses human rights against each other, but never discusses their own domestic HR abuses. So that racial tension caused a lot of sectarianism/factionalism thus an overall lull in the movement. Jalil has always written about political prisoners. Talks about Andrew Young, a US ambassador to the UN who was fired for acknowledging that the US has political prisoners - probably thousands - during a visit to Paris, France. Jalil has tried to get a prisoner exchange between US and Cuba - trade political prisoners for some Cuban held US CIA operatives. Discusses how although COINTELPRO was found illegal, there was no remedy/redress for victims. Believes that Jericho needs to push COINTELPRO.
