Oscar Lopez Rivera was sentenced to 70 years for seditious conspiracy. A political prisoner. Let's look at what sedition means: "The crime of saying, writing, or doing something that encourages people to disobey their government". In other words, the dictionary has invented a word for legal use that eliminates freedom of speech and expression. His verdict does not matter anymore. The truth of the situation is that this man has served 32 years 6 months and 16 days in jail as of this writing. That is enough unfair and unjust time in prison for an idea he strongly believed, Independence. An idea Americans shared equally and with much vigor and succeeded in 1776. We remind you of the Eight Amendment: "Excessive bail shall not be required [...] nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
