CAMPAIGNS

In 2021, our coalition held an historic international tribunal on U.S human rights violations. An example of U.S. violations of international law is the deliberate refusal to provide adequate medical care to our political prisoners and all prisoners. Another example is the use of extended solitary confinement–in the case of Albert Woodfox for 40 years!  On Oct 25, 2021, a panel of international jurists found the U.S. and its subdivisions guilty of five major human rights charges amounting to genocide against Black, Brown, and Indigenous people residing in the United States.

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.
