Mondo we Langa, that in that era answered to the name of David Rice, was information minister of the magazine "Freedom by any means necessary" and was one of the activists of the afroamerican community that for the FBI and the policeman of Omaha had to of be immediately" neutralized "(murdered or condemned of by life).
Both activists were accused of the death of a policeman (Larry T. Menard), with the only one accusation of a young Afro-American of 16 years (Duane Christopher Peak) that changed in several occasions your initial testimony, after be pressed and threatened by the policeman with be executed in the electrical chair and with taking reprisals against your family. In spite of the fact that in your first statements Duane C. Peak was recognized as author of the placement of the pump that killed to the policeman, it was four years in prison and left at large upon going from author of the facts to witness of the accusation. Meanwhile, Mondo we Langa and Edward Poindexter, in a judgement to which was given to her much advertising and in the one which in spite of the fact that did not exist tests in your against, they were condemned to chain for life since in that era in Nebraska there was not death penalty. The police assembly was clear and it did not remain the smaller doubts upon appearing, finally of much time, a tape of a recording that the FBI had put excessive interest in their disappearance and that was supposed destroyed, but of the one which a policeman had kept a copy. The apparition and the content of the tape was known after the said policeman death and puts in all evidence the police version and his perverse assembly.
With the penalty of Mondo we Langa and Edward Poindexter, and the chase of your activists, the Black Panthers disappeared thoroughly from Omaha.
Without a change of political will, all these activists seem condemned to die executed or to happen the rest of their days in prison as testimony of the police and political chase and of the complicity of the mistakes of the justice system of the USA. Therefore it is necessary to press before the institutions so that put them immediately at large.
Send urgently a letter to the address and with the text that appears more down.

Gentlemen:
I am very concerned about those political dissidents of the 60s and 70s who remain in prison, even though subsequent evidence indicates that they were targeted by the FBI, and were convicted on faulty evidence.
Mondo we Langa (formerly David Rice) is one such prisoner, and he has been incarcerated for 29 years, for a crime he denies committing Evidence obtained long after his trial raises doubts about the fairness of his conviction.
I ask that you act to honor his constitutional rights, and immediately commute his sentence to time served.
Thank you for recognizing the responsibilities of public servants to uphold human rights in the United States.
Sincerely,
(Name, address and signature)

Mondo we Langa, junto con Edward Poindexter, fueron unos de los principales miembros fundadores del cap�tulo de Omaha de los Panteras Negras, en Nebraska.
Mondo we Langa, que en esa �poca respond�a al nombre de David Rice, era ministro de informaci�n de la revista "Freedom by any means necessary" ("Libertad por todos los medios posibles") y era uno de los activistas de la comunidad afroamericana que para el FBI y la polic�a de Omaha deb�a de ser inmediatamente "neutralizado" (asesinado o condenado de por vida).
Ambos activistas fueron acusados de la muerte de un polic�a (Larry T. Menard), con la �nica acusaci�n de un joven afroamericano de 16 a�os (Duane Christopher Peak) que cambi� en varios ocasiones su testimonio inicial, despu�s de ser presionado y amenazado por la polic�a con ser ejecutado en la silla el�ctrica y con tomar represalias contra su familia. A pesar de que en sus primeras declaraciones Duane C. Peak se reconoci� como autor de la colocaci�n de la bomba que mat� al polic�a, estuvo cuatro a�os en prisi�n y sali� en libertad al pasar de autor de los hechos a testigo de la acusaci�n. Mientras tanto, Mondo we Langa y Edward Poindexter, en un juicio al que se le di� mucha publicidad y en el que a pesar de que no existiesen pruebas en su contra, fueron condenados a cadena perp�tua ya que en esa �poca en Nebraska no hab�a pena de muerte. El montaje policial fue claro y no qued� la menor duda al aparecer, al cabo de mucho tiempo, una cinta de una grabaci�n que el FBI hab�a puesto excesivo inter�s en su desaparici�n y que se supon�a destru�da, pero de la que un polic�a hab�a guardado una copia. La aparici�n y el contenido de la cinta se conoci� tras la muerte de dicho polic�a y pone en evidencia toda la versi�n policial y su perverso montaje.
Con la condena de Mondo we Langa y Edward Poindexter, y la persecuci�n de sus activistas, los Panteras Negras desaparecieron completamente de Omaha.
Sin un cambio de voluntad pol�tica, todos estos activistas parecen condenados a morir ejecutados o a pasar el resto de sus d�as en prisi�n como testimonio de la persecuci�n pol�tica y policial y de la complicidad de los errores del sistema de justicia de los USA. Por eso es necesario presionar ante las instituciones para que los pongan inmediatamente en libertad.
Env�a el texto en ingl�s a la direcci�n que aparece aqu� abajo.

Se�ores:
Estoy seriamente preocupado por la situaci�n de los disidentes pol�ticos de los a�os 60 y 70 que siguen en prisi�n, aun cuando las pruebas demostraron que ellos eran objetivo del FBI, fueron condenados con pruebas falsas.
Mondo we Langa (anteriormente David Rice) es uno de estos presos, y lleva encarcelado 29 a�os, por un crimen que �l niega haber cometido. Las evidencias obtenidas mucho despu�s de su juicio, despiertan dudas m�s que razonables sobre la justicia de esta condena.
Yo pido que Ud. act�e para acoger sus derechos constitucionales, e inmediatamente conmutar su sentencia por el tiempo que ya lleva condenado.
Gracias por reconocer las responsabilidades de los funcionarios p�blicos en el respeto a los derechos humanos en los Estados Unidos.
Sinceramente,
