Pennsylvania Parole Board under pressure for illegal parole denials involving the Move 9

Free The Move 9Seven of nine members of the MOVE 9, members of the late John Africa’s Philly based group MOVE, have been recommended for parole by officials at the prisons they are incarcerated but the parole board illegally denies them parole by putting them on trial again for the crimes for which they were convicted but did not commit. This amounts to double jeopardy and people who maintain their innocence should not have to admit to a crime that they did not commit in order to secure their freedom. The only thing that should matter and the law calls for is that they serve their sentences and stay out of trouble while in prison.

The MOVE 9 members all have been convicted of killing one police officer who was among the other police officers who laid siege to the MOVE family’s home. Evidence would suggest other police officers killed this police officer either intentionally or accidentally. Because they were convicted of killing a cop, former cops on the parole board and those influenced by thuggish police unions continue to deny MOVE 9 members parole year after year after year. This is unjust and it is criminal. It is a continuation of the war that has been waged on Black people who dare to stand up for their beliefs and oppose a racist system of oppression. Documents released by the parole board in denying parole prove they are illegally keeping these brothers and sisters behind bars. Help Free the MOVE 9!
