APRIL IS FREEDOM MONTH FOR THE PUERTO RICAN POLITICAL PRISONERS!

OSCAR LOPEZ RIVERA, CARLOS ALBERTO TORRES, AND AVELINO GONZALEZ CLAUDIO!

This April marks the 29th anniversary of the capture of the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners! The Puerto Rican Political Prisoners were incarcerated for their actions in support of the Independence of Puerto Rico; a colony of the United States for 110 years. The Political Prisoners were never charged with any violent crimes, but were given unjust sentences and incarcerated in the worst prisons in the United States.

The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign designates every April as Freedom Month; a period of time where to raise awareness about the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners and the Independence of Puerto Rico
