New York: New York judge on Thursday threw away the beliefs of two people who were imprisoned for decades over the decades during the 1965 murder of Malcolm X civil rights leaders, acknowledging the gross miscarriage of justice in one of the highest murders in history.
Judge Ellen Biben gave an exoneration of Muhammad A.
Aziz and Khalil Islam to break the applause from the courtroom, a historical step that changed the narrative behind one of the deepest movements of the US civil rights movement.
“I regret that this court cannot completely cancel serious miscarriage in this case and give you back for years lost,” Judge told Aziz and the Islamic family, who died in 2009.
For more than half a century.
The official record has stated that three members of the Black Nationalist Group of Islam – where Malcolm X was recently rejected – shooting an iconic leader when he arrived to speak at the Ballroom Ballem Podium.
Aziz, Islam and the third man, Mujahid Abdul Halim, was punished in 1966 – but historians had long doubted the thesis.
Halim – now 80 and released from prison in 2010 – claimed the murder but maintained the other two innocence.
And in 2020, this case was reopened after the Netflix doctor’s release “which killed Malcolm X?” The 22-month investigation was carried out together by the Office of the Manhattan District lawyer and lawyer for the two men found that the prosecutor, the FBI and the New York Police Department held evidence which would likely cause their release.
Aziz, 83, was sentenced to imprisonment in 1966 but was released in 1985.
Also sentenced to life, Islam was released in 1987 and died in 2009.
Manhattan District Prosecutor Cyrus Vance said “Obviously these people do not accept A”.
A fair trial “and apologized in the name of the law enforcement community for” injustice for decades.
“” We cannot restore what is taken from these people and their families, but by correcting notes, maybe we can begin to restore the faith, “Vance said.
After Malcolm X was shot dead on February 21, 1965, Halim was detained at the scene With bullet wounds to the feet.
Aziz and Islam were arrested a few days later.
Both denied involvement in murder and giving alibi to where they were at the time of the shooting.
“The events that brought us here should never happen; These events and are the result of a corrupt process with the point – which is too familiar to black people in 2021, “Aziz told the court.” While I do not need this court, these prosecutors, or a piece of paper to tell me me innocent, I am very happy that my family, my friends, and lawyers who have worked and supported me have finally seen the truth that we all know officially recognized, “he added.
Said the belief” Deceived and Deceptive “Public, Civil Rights David Shanies told the court that the two men became the same “victims of racism and injustice” that Malcolm X had struggled.
Shanies and Innocence Projects, non-profit who have secured the exoneration of hundreds of prisoners punished in the United States, collaborating with Vance’s office in investigating the case that.
– Questions that are lingering – the wrong belief means true actors – who It is believed to be dead – may not be responsible for killing a towering figure that still supports the current struggle for black rights in America.
Long investigations do not identify killers or offer an alternative explanation for the murder.
And key questions still exist, which is how US intelligence, which has long been watching Malcolm X, does not know the leader is randomized or do anything? Born Malcolm Little in 1925, Malcolm X became one of the most influential Africans in the 20th century with Martin Luther King Jr.
As a young man he fell into a small crime and while in prison became a godly follower of Islamic nations, religious and political organizations that advocated black nationalism.
After his release, he changed his family’s name to “X,” a symbol of his family’s real name missing under slavery.
He rose to stand out as a minister and noi spokesperson, advocate for self-esteem and self-esteem.
He also did not avoid using violence for self-protection.
Being disappointed with the group, Malcolm X separated in 1964, formed an Afro-American unity organization which was short-lived to continue advocacy for black rights.
