NOV 25: Pack the Tampa Federal Courthouse
UNJUST UHURU 3 CONVICTION
On September 12, 2024, a jury in the federal courthouse in Tampa, Florida repudiated the more serious charge of the U.S. government’s frame-up of the Uhuru 3 by finding APSP Chairman Omali Yeshitela, along with Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel, not guilty of being agents of the Russian government.
The prosecutors unleashed a barrage of lies and distortions of the law, along with deliberately confusing jury instructions, to mislead the jury into returning an inconsistent verdict, convicting the three Uhuru Movement leaders on the lesser charge of “conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States”.
They plan to appeal this unjust verdict and are confident they will win. But more importantly, the jury’s “not guilty” verdict on the “Russian agents” charge means that the jurors agreed with the legitimacy of their decades-long efforts advocating and organizing for the liberation of Africa and African people.
