[Ppnews] Support Parole for Sekou Kambui

[Political Prisoner News]

Dear Friends,

This is an urgent appeal on behalf of New Afrikan Political Prisoner 
SEKOU CINQUE KAMBUI.

In 1967 Sekou joined the Black Panther Party in Chicago and New York. 
While in Detroit, he became a member of the Republic of New Afrika, 
before returning to Birmingham. Back in Alabama, Sekou coordinated 
community organizaton activity with the Alabama Black Liberation 
Front, the Inmates for Action (IFA) Defense Committee and the 
Afro-American People's Party. Sekou also became a soldier in the 
Black Liberation Army (BLA)during the years before his capture.

He was captured on January 2, 1975 and falsely arrested and charged 
with the murder of two white men: a KKK official from Tuscaloosa and 
a multi-millionaire from Birmingham. He was sentenced to two 
consecutive life sentences for these crimes.

Even though, to this day, he has never been placed near or at either 
of the crime scenes, no murder weapon was found, nor any direct 
evidence offered to connect him to the murders, Sekou has been in 
jail for over 30 years!!

His unrelenting passion for justice have seen him become a Prisoners' 
human rights activist and known jailhouse lawyer for over 20 years 
now. Many prisoners are free thanks to Sekou's legal efforts and his 
dedication. He has battled the prison slavocracy and its barbaric and 
sadistic practices in State and Federal courts in every Disctrict and 
Division. Not suprisingly,this has earned him retaliatory transfers 
and unabated enmity from Alabama Department of Corrections officials.

In the past ten years, Sekou has been up for parole five seperate 
times and has been denied each time. Another parole hearing has been 
set for him on June 2006. He has an attorney in Alabama to represent 
him at this parole hearing and a realistic chance of being granted 
parole. However, we need to raise $3000 to fund this legal work and 
support Sekou's efforts to be granted parole.

Please send donations no later than June 1, 2006 to Jericho Boston, 
P.O. Box 301057, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130.

Please support Sekou on his path to freedom!!!
