Scholars for Oscar López Rivera an Initiative of the National Boricua Human Rights Network (NBHRN) 2739 W Scholars for Oscar López Rivera An Initiative of the National Boricua Human Rights Network (NBHRN) 2739 W. Division Street, Chicago, IL 60622 • www.boricuahumanrights.org • [email protected] Oscar López Rivera Freedom Campaign People of conscience in Puerto Rico and around the world – including prominent figures such as Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu, acclaimed novelist and activist Arundhati Roy, and philosopher and public intellectual Cornel West – have joined their voices in support of the immediate release of the longest held political prisoner in Puerto Rican history. Oscar López Rivera, 71, has spent the last 32 years of his life in U.S. prisons under torturous conditions, isolated from his people and his loved ones, and punished for his internationally recognized commitment to the independence of Puerto Rico. A community organizer, decorated Vietnam veteran, father and grandfather, he is serving a 70-year sentence for seditious conspiracy, the exact charge levied against South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela. In López Rivera’s case, he participated in the struggle to end the U.S. colonization of Puerto Rico, which began in 1898 at the conclusion of the Spanish-American War. Though he was not convicted of harming or killing anyone, he has served more time in prison than many people convicted of violent offenses. Moreover, his co-defendants - released in 1999 by a presidential executive clemency – are produc- tive, law-abiding members of civil society. An international campaign is currently calling on U.S. President Barack Obama to immediately commute the sentence of Oscar López-Rivera. In 2014 – the thirty-third year of his incarceration – this campaign is launching a new initiative: Scholars for Oscar López Rivera. This initiative seeks to integrate intellectuals, writers, and re- searchers into the campaign to free López Rivera. Ways to Support 1) Submit letter of support on university/department stationery. (See attached template). 2) Reach out to other professors of conscience to join the Scholars for Oscar López Rivera initiative. 3) Circulate general public petition to your students, friends, and other allies (See attached petition). 4) Organize educational teach-ins, forums, and activities on your campus.
