58 years of unjust imprisonment – Free Ruchell Magee!
By Struggle-La Lucha Los Angeles bureau
The Free Ruchell Magee Coalition held a rally on Dec. 18 in front of the CNN building in Los Angeles. They demanded that the powers that be – including the governor and corporate media – stop ignoring the case of extreme racism in sentencing and denial of human rights to Ruchell “Cinque” Magee.
Magee, who is now 82 and under medical care, has suffered incarceration for 58 years. He was given a life sentence for an alleged $10 robbery. Later in 1970, Magee was involved with Jonathan Jackson in the attempt to free political prisoner George Jackson, after eight years of not being allowed parole or any acknowledgement of the racist sentencing and trial.

Los Angeles: Free Ruchell Magee Rally & Press Conference
Saturday, December 18 - 12 p.m.
CNN Los Angeles, 6430 W. Sunset Blvd. (corner of N. Cahuenga Blvd.)
Hosted by Coalition to Free Ruchell Magee
Join us on December 18th at CNN Los Angeles (Hollywood) for a rally and press conference to demand Ruchell Magee's freedom! December 17 will mark 40 years of unjust parole denials since Ruchell's first parole denial in 1981. 58 years in prison starting with a marijuana conviction is absolutely ridiculous, and we believe every media outlet has the duty to report on this extreme injustice.
The world must know the name: RUCHELL "CINQUE" MAGEE!
