Former “Soledad Brother” Fights for Parole
Nellie Bailiey and Glen Ford
29 Jan 2018
🖨️ Print Article

Students at Southern University Law Center (SULC) have asked the UN Human Rights Commission to intervene in the case of John Clutchette, the former “Soledad Brother” who was charged, along with George Jackson and Fleeta Drumgo, in the death of a prison guard in 1970. Clutchette was acquitted and freed, but later wound up in prison again for murder. The state parole board wants to release the 75 year-old, but California Governor Ed Brown reversed the decision, demanding that Clutchette show remorse for his alleged acts in the Seventies. SULC student Ryan Thompson says Brown “is carrying out a long tradition of repression” in the spirit of COINTELPRO.
