Reports: Imprisoned Black Panther Herman Bell Attacked by Guards
----------------------------------------------------------------

Prisoner advocates say former Black Panther Herman Bell was attacked by
a half-dozen prison guards at the Great Meadow Correctional Facility in
New York state last week. The guards reportedly broke two of his ribs,
bloodied his face, and damaged his left eye by spraying mace directly
into his eyes. Sixty-nine-year-old Herman Bell has been imprisoned for
more than 40 years.
