After 36 years behind bars as a political prisoner, Mutulu Shakur is on his deathbed. The movement elder, healer, and radical Black freedom fighter was diagnosed with stage 3 bone marrow cancer in June of this year. Despite qualifying for compassionate release and having been eligible for parole since 2016, prison and federal authorities have refused to grant Shakur his freedom. With time running out, activists gathered at the Department of Justice on the weekend of July 23 to demand Shakur’s release. Rattling the Bars co-host Mansa Musa reports from the rally to free Mutulu Shakur.
Born in Baltimore and raised in Queens, Mutulu Shakur first became politically active in the 1960s as a member of the Revolutionary Action Movement and Republic of New Afrika. In 1970, Shakur helped found the People’s Drug Program at Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx alongside the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords. As the husband of Afemi Shakur, Mutulu Shakur was the stepfather of Tupac Shakur. He was convicted in 1988 for his role in the prison escape of Assata Shakur, as well as for the 1981 robbery of a Brink’s armored car in Nanuet, New York, which resulted in the deaths of two police officers and a security guard.

The system truly do fear inspirational power people.
Just because somebody is eligible for parole doesn’t mean they get it. Charles Manson was eligible for parole numerous times and was denied and even denied it himself. The man was connected to a 1981 armored car robbery of $1.6 million and people were killed. Might be a good man now but in 1981 he was involved in some things that he probably should not have been involved in. Again remember for the rest of your life and tell younger ones just because somebody is eligible for parole doesn’t mean they get it.
This is what it looks like
When the government imprison you for the wisdom and knowledge you hold within your soul. Dr Mutulu Shakur was a threat to a corupt and flawed "system/government." If it is that he should pass I pray that he comes back to earth more powerful and strategic than before. Long live the KING!! Dr. MUTULU SHAKUR
#AINTNOSTOPPINGUS
Blacks against drugs, am in support brother. This is what we need.
If Obama failed to pardon him, just know who Obama worked for
Free that Man.
Wow
Show this video to the damn and blind Black "Woke ism" groups. What a betrayal to civil rights legends
Nobody talking about what he did to get himself there. When u kill cops u usually get death. He’s lucky he got life. The victims he killed didn’t get to “die peacefully with family and friends†and that’s why he will die inside.
Why has this not been brought up to the current Whitehouse administration? This is an easy story to get in TV. If noise had been made, Shakur would have been spending his final days outside of prison. These are the issues that impact the people will remember come election time.
Notice they didn’t say WHAT he was convicted of.
Is there a way we can write to Dr Shakur?
So the real influences should tell ppl to storm the capital? These ppl are psycho with their logic . Vomit from the mouth 👄.
They fear people like mutulu it's white supremacy we fighting against
Those that are keepn Dr. Mutula Shakur will reap their karma and I will continue to pray 🙠for his release.
This is cruelty. The government are the devils and all of the corrupt shit they have done. All of the government officials should be in prison. I pray that Doctor Mutula Shakur get released now. I stand with you.
She said because of him assata Shakur is in Cuba and she wonders why he isn’t free
Did he have compassion when that cop was killed?
Unfortunately Marching & talking about American government evils will not really help that much black people need to take actions and stop marching so hard yall been marching forever, time for that is over get organized and strategise on your actions freedom is taken and not gvn and stop being afraid of dying for what you believing
They’ll never set him free due to him killing guards and cops. Amongst everything else he’s done like helping in the escape of his wife or wtv. He’s never going home
What a total disgrace to human compassion and intelligence, bastards
Peter Paige, Edward O'Grady, Waverly Brown and Joseph Trombino RIP.
I don’t give a fk about Mutulu Shakur. A guard and two policemen were brutally murdered while he was doing a robbery. He was the ringleader. Your thoughts should be for the real victims and the kind of pain and death they had to suffer and the partners, families and friends that had to bare that loss during these years. He deserves everything thats coming to him – and more. If I was in charge I wouldn’t give him treatment or pain relief and I’d post pictures of the victims, their graves and their families in mourning all around his cell so the crime is always in his head.
Fry Shakur.

#FreeMutuluShakur Thanks for doing this, all of you, and thanks for going out there and taking to everyone.
In the times we are in. I hope the people in power start changing there actions from wrong to right. Even when someone as done everything that is wanted of someone in this prison system. He is still denied what one has earned, but yet deserve. Another fine example of how a system has been made to punish and victimize people and everyone has been lied.
It's BECAUSE he helped Assata Shakur, and BECAUSE he's the godfather of Tupac Shakur, and BECAUSE he's a positive influence on young black men that they will NEVER let him out. They don't want anyone helping young black men, because that would interfere with the narrative they've painstakingly cultivated, that all black men are animals, and black people in general are savage criminals compared to white people. They will do everything they can to stop that narrative from ever changing. Respect and love to Dr. Shakur. But he's going to die in that prison, because that's the most devastating result to the black community, and they want to keep devastating the black community over and over and over, so they can never dig their way out.
I just hate people whose style of speech is to never take a breath, so that no one else can speak until they've decided they're done.
BASTARDS
Free Him !✊✊✊✊✊✊
Let the man die at home 😪
It's all because he is a Strong Black Man… with a Louder Voice than what WHITE America can deal with. HELL… WHITE America has a hard enough time coping with, dealing with and standing next to WHITE voices and ideals that bring PROGRESS and LIGHT.
They know that a majority of the people at this moment in history are fed up and they are afraid to let people like this gain the ear of the people again. We need people like this to help us rise up! Fear mongering is the curtain that this wicked governmental wizard hides behind!
Ummm wiki says he was involved as a leader of a group that robbed a brinks truck and killed 3 people and injuring a couple others. I'm not sure what the current rules on accessory to triple homicide and armed robbery… care to enlighten me?
