BLM blames 'cruel and inhumane' US embargoes for Cuban unrest and praises the communist regime for granting 'Black revolutionaries' asylum
2021-07-16
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Black Lives Matter accused US of causing the instability that sparked protestsActivists also praised the regime for showing 'solidarity with oppressed peoples'

  • Demonstrations over food shortages and rising prices have rocked the island

  • The group also praised Cuba for harboring Assata Shakur, a convicted cop killer and former Black Panther who has been hiding on the island for nearly 40 years

Shakur, a former member of the Black Liberation Army, was convicted of being an accomplice to the murder of State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973.

At the time, she was also wanted for several felonies, including bank robber counts in New York and was known for her membership of the Black Panthers.

Shakur was with two other people when they were pulled over on the New Jersey Turnpike. The three opened fire on the troopers.

Passenger James Coston was shot and killed by Officer James Harper. The shootout continued until Shakur, having shot and killed Foerster execution-style fled the scene with the surviving passenger, who remains in prison.

Both were apprehended by police shortly thereafter.

Shakur denied having shot anyone, but was sentenced to life in prison. She escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in 1979. She resurfaced in Cuba where she was granted asylum by Fidel Castro and where she has lived ever since.

Considered an armed and dangerous domestic terrorist, she is still wanted by the FBI and there is a $2million reward for her capture.

The godmother and aunt of the late rapper Tupac Shakur also became the first woman on the FBI's list of top 10 most wanted terrorists.
