Liberty City 7 Verdict Announced

Government frame-up of Liberty City 7 is set back by jury
Free the Liberty City 7! On Africa Live this Sunday, 11:00 - 13:00 (11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.) U.S. Eastern Time, we bring you a 2-hour special update on the case of the Liberty City 7, who the U.S. government has tried to frame up on bogus terrorism plotting charges. On Thursday, December 14th, after nine days of deliberation and intense pressure from the judge to come to a verdict, the jury found Lyglenson Lemorin not guilty and refused to convict the other 6 defendants, forcing a mistrial.

In this Sunday's broadcast, Kobina Bantushango, Uhuru Movement leader who has been in Miami organizing the community in defense of the LC7, will:

* Discuss the case and the significance of the verdict in setting back the government's attempt to put an African face on the "terrorism threat" and violate the rights of African people to free speech and political association
* Present excerpts from the presentations given by LC7 family members at the September 2007 International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement's Annual Convention
* Interview Krown of Bombai about his new hip-hop single, "Free the LC7"
