After serving more than 29 years in prison, Puerto Rican political prisoner  
Carlos Alberto Torres recently appeared before the US Parole Commission.

The hearing examiner recommended a presumptive parole date of April 3,  
2010, which would mark the 30th anniversary of Carlos Alberto's  
imprisonment.

The parole commission has until June 16 to issue a decision. Should the  
commission adopt the examiner's recommendation, Carlos Alberto would be  
eligible for transfer to a halfway house on October 3, 2009.

Letters urging the commission to adopt the hearing examiner's  
recommendation are encouraged. To learn more visit:
