Depending on your definition, there are dozens or hundreds or thousands
of political prisoners and prisoners of war held by the United
States government. This talk will focus on political prisoners and prisoners
of war who came out of the revolutionary movements from the 1960s to
today, including the national liberation movements, the armed struggle,
white anti-imperialists and, more recently, the Green Scare defendants.
Topics will include the relationship of the prisoners to our own struggles
today, the varying definitions of “who is a political prisoner”, and a look
back at some of the support work that was being done in the 80s and
90s, especially in Canada. Certain specific cases will also be discussed,
for instance Assata Shakur, Leonard Peltier, Marilyn Buck and Kevin ‘Rashid’
Johnson, as well as the recent strike by prisoners in Georgia.
The talk will be given by Karl of Kersplebedeb Publishing, followed
by discussion.
