Dr. Mutulu Shakur, a son, a father, grandfather, healer, and human rights organizer who has been incarcerated by the Federal Bureau of Prison for over 35 years AND has served his time. He is a political prisoner and prisoner of war targeted for his exposure of the FBI’s illegal Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO), support for national liberation struggles here and abroad and using acupuncture to frustrate the government’s genocidal War of Drugs. Dr. Shakur is now 71 years old, has suffered 2 strokes, glaucoma, and has been battling Stage 3 bone marrow cancer for the last 2 ½ years while serving COVID19 twice. Although he received a bone marrow transplant, his cancer is not curable — he will require continuing treatment and cancer management, until the end of his life. He has been denied compassionate release and in January 2021 was denied parole for a ninth time.
