Subject: Press Release
Below is a press release regarding Ramsey Muñiz, a Texas leader during the Civil Rights Movement, who is currently serving a sentence of life without parole. Key evidence was intentionally withheld by prosecutors during the 1994 trial. Supporters call for an investigation and an immediate Commutation of Sentence from President Barack Obama.
*********************************************************************************************
Ramiro “Ramsey” Muñiz, a former Texas gubernatorial candidate and Texas leader during the Civil Rights Movement, has spent 16 ½ years incarcerated in United States prisons serving a sentence of life without parole. The majority of those years were in the hardest maximum security penitentiaries.
Recognizing the blatant injustice, the National Committee to Free Ramsey Muñiz has met with Rosa Rosales, President of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the largest Hispanic organization in the United States. They have also met with several members and officers of Texas LULAC. The committee plans to reopen the Ramsey Muñiz case in order to prove his innocence and increase support in calling for an investigation and immediate Commutation of Sentence from President Barack Obama.
Members of the National Committee to Free Ramsey Muñiz hold that Muñiz, now 67 years of age, has suffered greatly for a crime he did not commit. They present trial transcripts which show that prosecuting attorneys intentionally withheld evidence that prevented the disclosure of the principal conspirator and co-conspirator. The principal conspirator was allowed to go free rather than bringing him to face trial. Evidence of this has been sent to the Office of the Pardon Attorney.
Even after 30 years, many remember the historical political impact that Ramsey Muñiz made throughout the Southwest. The civil and constitutional rights of the Mexican-American community in education, employment, politics, and immigration were issues that Muñiz brought to the forefront. These issues have remained in the forefront since his incarceration.
Jaime Martinez, civil rights activist, states, “There is no question in my heart and in the hearts of the people, who continue to fight against injustice in the spirit of non-violence practiced by Mahatma Gandhi and Cesar E. Chavez, that we will win his freedom.”
