April Freedom Month 2008 Calendar

On April 4th, 2008 the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners will have completed 28 years in jail for FIGHTING PUERTO RICAN INDPENDENCE!

Every April, ProLibertad organizes a series of events to commemorate the arrests of our political prisoners. We use this month as a time to raise awareness around the prisoners and of Puerto Rico's colonial reality.

This year, we celebrate the release of Jose Perez Gonzalez, a Political Prisoner for his actions in support of the Vieques movement, and we denounce the arrest and incarceration of AVELINO GONZALEZ CLAUDIO!! Come to all the events and bring your friends and family!!
