Please join us on Monday, November 18th at 6:00 pm for Prison Pipeline on KBOO Community Radio as we talk with Omali Yeshitela, Chairman of the African People's Socialist Party. On September 12, 2024, a federal jury in Tampa returned a contradictory and nonsensical verdict in the free speech trial of the century, where Chairman Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess and Jesse Nevel faced bogus charges of working as Russian agents. They found the Uhuru 3 not guilty of working as agents of Russia, but guilty of conspiring to work as agents of Russia. Uhuru 3 attorneys plan to appeal the conspiracy conviction. On October 10, they filed a motion asking the judge to throw out the conviction. Sentencing on the conspiracy conviction is December 16, with maximum possible sentence of 5 years.
Chairman Omali Yeshitela is the 83-year-old leader of the African People’s Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement, political theorist and strategist who developed the theory of African Internationalism. He has traveled to over 19 countries building the Black Power struggle throughout Africa, Europe and the Americas, and establishing solidarity relations with other colonized peoples’ movements. He has driven the establishment of over 50 black community economic institutions designed to free African people from the colonial mode of production and welfare slavery.
