Vigil to free Jalil Muntaqim

Members of Metro Justice and advocates of justice reform will gather for a vigil at the corner of South Avenue and Byron Street at 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 9, in support of Jalil Muntaqim. Born Anthony Bottom, Muntaqim, 64, has been incarcerated since he was 19 and is currently at Attica. He was convicted along with another man of killing two New York City police officers, though there is a long history of controversy surrounding his case. He will soon go before a New York parole board for the ninth time. His supporters say that the former Black Panther is a political prisoner and should be free after serving 44 years.
