As many of you already know, Hugo Pinell (Yogi Bear) and Ruchell
Cinque Magee have been locked up in California gulags for 49 and 50
years, respectively. An outrage since neither has a murder conviction
or LWOP (life without the possiblity of parole). To learn more, go to www.hugopinell.org.
They are political prisoners even though their political
actions were confined to prisons where they helped (along with George
Jackson, Howard Tole, William Christmas, James McClain, W.L. Nolen, et
al.) make it safe for Black prisoners to walk the yard. (Read Melancholy
History of Soledad Prison, by Minh Yee). While Ruchell is in
general population (having used his jailhouse lawyering skills to get
himself out of the Pelican Bay SHU), Yogi remains locked down 24/7 in
that torture chamber after 23 years (43 altogether in various
lockups/solitary). His next board hearing after several denials (He
was eligible in 1985) will be October 22, 2013 when he will
face a possible 15-year hit. We must take action now to stop that from
happening.
Yogi will be 68 years old March 10.
Ruchell will be 74, March 17.
Please send them some birthday love -- and, if you can, a post
office money order (which can be sent to their addresses as follows).
