Margaret Kimberley · GOP Tried to Re-Imprison Jalil Muntaqim

After 49 years as a Black Panther Party political prisoner, Jalil Muntaqim was released on parole, only to be rearrested for attempting to register to vote in his hometown of Rochester, New York. Muntaqim “was literally arrested in front of his mom” and later released on his own recognizance, said his cousin, Blake Simons. “This is a GOP-orchestrated attack. Jalil is caught in the crosshairs of the propaganda war the far-right is waging.”
