Spirit of Mandela

Spirit of Mandela is a campaign to bring international attention to U.S. violations of the human rights of U.S. held political prisoners. In addition to requesting that the International Commission of Jurists return to visit our political prisoners, we are organizing an International Tribunal on this issue in 2021.

INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL – OCT. 2021

The Spirit of Mandela engages in different areas of work. 

EDUCATION

We have the key legal international documents regarding the treatment of prisoners and political prisoners including the United Nations Nelson Mandela Rules, the 1979 Report of the International Commission of Jurists, the trifold containing the original proposal from Political Prisoner Jalil Muntaqim to bring back the international jurists and more.

CAMPAIGNS

Our coalition is working on holding an international tribunal on U.S human rights violations of Political Prisoners in 2021. As an example, the U.S. is violating international law in its deliberate refusal to provide adequate medical care to our political prisoners. Another example is the use of extended solitary confinement–in the case of Albert Woodfox for 40 years!
