Raise funds for Oscar López Rivera book - Between Torture and Resistance
Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign for
The Book: Oscar López Rivera: Between Torture and Resistance
Goal: $3,500
Our goal is to publish, in cooperation with
renowned human rights activist and author Luis
Nieves Falcon, the English-language edition of
the recently published book Oscar Lopez Rivera:
Between Torture and Resistance (San Juan, Comite
pro Derechos Humanos de Puerto Rico). It is the
story of one of Latin America's longest-held
political prisoners, a Puerto Rican
pro-independence activist who was convicted of
the political "crime" of seditious conspiracy,
not of harming anyone. Lavishly illustrated with
photos of his life and artwork (he has become a
painter during his now over thirty years behind
bars), the book is an easily accessible
introduction to U.S.-Puerto Rico relations and contemporary prison issues.
