Namir Abdul Mateen

Black Muslim prisoner at Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, sentenced to death for the killing of correctional officer Robert Vallandingham during the April 1993 Lucasville prison uprising — the longest prison riot in U.S. history. Sentenced alongside Keith LaMar (Bomani Shakur), Siddique Abdullah Hasan (Carlos Sanders), and others. Movement supporters have long argued the prosecutions were political — the state needed to convict leaders to shore up the legitimacy of the violent retaking — and the trials were marred by withheld exculpatory evidence and snitch testimony.
