The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign is calling on all our allies and supporters of justice to join us to denounce the assassination of Puerto Rican revolutionary leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios, leader of the clandestine revolutionary organization called El Ejercito Popular Boricua-Macheteros (The Popular Boricua Army-Machete Wielders)

On Sept. 23, in a massive FBI operation in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, Filiberto Ojeda Rios, was assassinated by an FBI sniper.
During the ensuing gun battle, Beatriz Rosado Barbosa, Ojeda Rios' wife, was critically wounded and then arrested, along with an F.B.I. agent. Both are presently hospitalized, and a third man has yet to be identified by authorities.
This assassination is an attack against the Puerto Rican Independence movement that cannot go unanswered!! We must mobilize and organize a response to this heinous act of murder. Ojeda Rios represented the revolutionary spirit and morality of the Puerto Rican independence movement.
The FBI chose to assassinate Ojeda Rios on Sept. 23rd (El Grito de Lares, a celebration of the anti-colonial resistance movement in Puerto Rico) as a message to the independence movement; the U.S. government is trying to tell us that if we resist, then we will be murdered like Ojeda Rios, Don Pedro Albizu Campos, Angel Rodrgiuez Cristobal and the many other Puerto Rican patriots that have fallen at the hands of the U.S. governement.

WE WILL RISE, RESIST AND REBEL!!
Join us in our outrage, mourning and resistance!!
Wear a black arm band, wear all black, bring your noise makers, your flags and 25 of your closest friends to the protest!!
MOBILIZE IN THE SPIRIT OF FILIBERTO!!

**FILIBERTO OJEDA RIOS PRESENTE!!
**FILIBERTO VIVE, LA LUCHA SIGUE!!
