Two poems by Jalil Muntaqim: ‘Chairman Fred & Captain Mark’ and...

Jalil Muntaqim, one of the longest held political prisoners in the U.S., was once again denied parole on Nov. 18, 2009. Visit FreeJalil.com to learn more about this extraordinary, heroic brother, who traded a minor plea for the freedom from all charges of four of his San Francisco 8 comrades.
