| The Safiya Bukhari - Albert 'Nuh' Washington Foundation |
|
The Safiya Bukhari -
Albert ‘Nuh' Washington Foundation is a non-sectarian grant
making organization whose founders, officers, advisors, members,
supporters, associates, volunteers and staff are all individuals who
have come together to provide unbiased assistance to the numerous
families and groups who work on behalf of United States-held
Political Prisoners and Prisoners Of War.
Additionally, we provide
similar services to the survivors and/or families of PP/POWs &
activists who have died in service of all oppressed peoples'
struggles inside of the United States.
Both Safiya Bukhari
and Albert ‘Nuh' Washington were U.S. held political
prisoners and noted members of the original Black Panther Party who
selflessly sacrificed their lives for the self-determination and
ultimate liberation of Black and oppressed people.
Thus, it is in their
names that this foundation is dedicated to continuing the work to
gain amnesty and freedom for U.S.-held political prisoners and POWs.

The
San Francisco 8 are eight former "original" Black Panther Party
members and active supporters (ages 56 to 72) arrested last January
on charges from a1971 killing of a San Francisco police officer. Some
of the 8 faced virtually identical charges 35 years ago-charges
dropped when it was revealed that police torture had extracted
"confessions."
That
was in 1973. Now that torture has been made acceptable in this
country, the case is back on-based on the same flawed evidence.
The
judge has released the 6 bail-eligible defendants on bond. Two
defendants are not eligible for bail-New York state political
prisoners Herman Bell and Jalil Muntaqim. They have already served
more than 34 years; the new case charges them with actions for which
they are already doing time.
Come
welcome home four of the SF-8 defendants and learn more about the
case.
