Angela Davis says hand off Assata Shakur. From Democracy Now!

This is a good clip showing Angela Davis‘ support for Assata
Shakur. The news reporter from Democracy Now! goofed up and said
Assata‘s incident with the police was 1963 when it was really
1973, but it‘s a good report on freedom fighters.

Amazing to hear of what a country of prisons the US is. No one
in Germany would spend more than on average 13 years in a German
prison without parole for even premeditated first degree murder
and here is someone in prison in the US who is likely innocent
who has been in prison for 50 years. Just appalling.
In Europe the person mentioned, Angelas co-defendant (she was
acquitted), probably wouldn’t have even been convicted or spent
a day in prison. The US prison system is a gulag system. A
disgrace to human rights. Norway won‘t even extradite people to
the US (most countries won‘t either) because they know no one
gets a fair trial in the US, and the prison system is not up to
UN or international humanitarian standards. It’s third world.
