Two Men Convicted of Killing Malcolm X Will Be Exonerated
---------------------------------------------------------

Two of the three men convicted of the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X
are being exonerated today. This comes after decades of advocacy on
behalf of the men and after a 2-year investigation by the Manhattan
D.A.'s office and the Innocence Project found that prosecutors, the FBI
and the New York Police Department omitted key evidence around the
murder. Muhammad Aziz is 83, he was released on parole in 1985 and has
been fighting to clear his name. The other man, Khalil Islam, was
released in 1987 and died in 2009. Tune in to Democracy Now! on Friday
for much more on this story.
