ALERT! Free the '71 Eight!

SF authorities announced the arrest of 8 men on trumped up charges of killing a police in 1971.

The men are alleged Black Liberation Army soldiers. They are:
-Ray Michael Boudreaux, 64
-Richard Brown, 65
-Henry Watson Jones, 71
-Francisco Torres, 58
-Harold Taylor, 58
-Richard O'Neal, 57
-Herman Bell, 59 -already serving life in NY
-Jalil Abdul Muntaqim, 55 -already serving life in NY

-Another suspect, Ronald Stanley Bridgeforth, 62, is still being sought and believed to be out of the US.

The men have already been hounded by the undemocratic grand jury process. Some were jailed for refusing to answer to the grand jury in 2005.

They were arrested for the murder in 1973 with the only evidence being confessions obtained over several days of being beaten, covered in boiling water, having electric probes placed on genitals, and other torture methods.
Charges were dropped then and should be now!
State Attorney General Jerry Brown acknowledged that no new scientific evidence had been unearthed.

This case is just based on more vindictiveness against The Black Panthers and other radicals.
