SUMMARY:Podcast: Political Prisoner Radio - Free Oscar López Rivera
DESCRIPTION: \n8:00 PM EST\n \n\nDOWNLOAD MP3 \n \nVicente “ Panam
 a ” Alba previously served as a member of the local advisory board o
 f the Free Speech Community sponsored by WBAI, founded the Latino comm
 ittee within the station, and participated as a member of the nationwi
 de Justice & Unity movement fighting for inclusion of the diverse voic
 eless communities and many other organizations. A former member of the
  Young Lords Party, Mr. Alba became a political prisoner as the first 
 person arrested in the United States with alleged ties to Fuerzas Amad
 as de Liberación Nacional (FALN) in 1977. He spent six months in jail
  before being released on bail and was acquitted five years later.\n R
 icardo Jiménez was arrested with 11 others on April 4, 1980, in their
  attempt to achieve independence for Puerto Rico. Ricardo was finally 
 released from prison on September 10, 1999, after President Bill Clint
 on extended him clemency.\nOscar López Rivera, arrested in 1981, is s
 erving a sentence of 70 years for seditious conspiracy, for his commit
 ment to the independence of Puerto Rico. He was not accused or convict
 ed of causing harm or taking a life. Oscar is 67 years of age and has 
 served over 30 years behind bars, including over 12 years in torturous
  condi­tions of total isolation and sensory deprivation. In 1999, Pre
 sident Clinton offered to commute Oscar’s sentence on the condition 
 that he serve an ad­ditional 10 years of clear conduct in prison befo
 re being eligible for release. Oscar did not accept the president’s 
 offer, as the of­fer did not include all the Puerto Rican political p
 risoners at that time. Under the president’s offer, he would have be
 en re­leased in Sept. of 2009. The conditions of Clinton’s 1999 off
 er to commute Oscar’s sen­tence have been fulfilled. Info on his fr
 eedom campaign is available at http://boricuahumanrights.org/category
