ProLibertad Freedom Campaign

Scope and Content Note

ProLibertad Freedom Campaign was a support website for the Puerto Rican nationalists who were imprisoned in the United States for sedition in the early 1980s and Puerto Rican political prisoners in general. The organization worked to release the prisoners, eleven of which were offered clemency in 1999 by President Bill Clinton. As of 2013, one prisoner, Oscar López Rivera, remains in prisoner. The website was defunct by late 2011, at that point two other prisoners, Avelino Gonzalez Claudio, and Norberto Gonzalez Claudio, also remained in prison. It contains writings by the prisoners, a radio show, newsletters, video, and a history of the organization and cases.
