Black Panther Political Prisoner "Chip" Fitzgerald Ends His Hunger Strike

May 4, 2010

The longest held Black Panther Party Political Prisoner, Romaine 
"Chip" Fitzgerald has ended his hunger strike at Corcoran State 
Prison in California now that the prison and its warden have met his 
demands. These demands were met only after countless calls made into 
the prison by his supporters. According to sources close to him, Chip 
is scheduled to be transferred today out of administrative 
segregation at Corcoran and into Kern State Valley Prison's general 
population, where conditions (including access to medical care) may 
be significantly better. But, as he wrote recently, "we'll see."

We will be sure to keep you posted.

Without a doubt, Chip's transfer is a people's victory. Warden Lopez 
at Corcoran State Prison capitulated to the people's demands. This 
proves the importance and value of political solidarity with 
prisoners in general and political prisoners in particular. Let's 
keep our movement going strong.

The Committee to Free Chip Fitzgerald thanks you for your support!
