About this record

The Insurgent was the newsletter of the Committee to Fight Repression, a 1980s publication produced by friends and families of U.S. political prisoners and prisoners of war. It covered the federal prison control units (Marion and the new women's unit at Lexington), Puerto Rican independence prisoners, Black liberation, grand-jury resistance, and anti-imperialist solidarity. This Spring 1989 issue (Vol. 5, No. 1), "Support the Resistance Conspiracy Defendants," covers the opening of the Resistance Conspiracy and Ohio 7 sedition trials and hunger strikes in South Africa and West Germany.
