Jakhi McCray

On March 16, the pause on Jakhi’s federal case ended, a legal exclusion to the Speedy Trial Act / the time limit for State prosecutors to indict someone within 30 days of their indictment. There have been five such pauses in Jakhi’s case. In the coming days and weeks, Jakhi and his defense team will consider a plea offer from the US government. If the offer is declined, federal prosecutors could indict Jakhi on a number of exaggerated, bogus, and politically motivated charges with the intent to scare him and demobilize his support. After six weeks of being hunted by multiple law enforcement agencies for allegedly burning 11 NYPD cars in support of the struggle for Palestinian liberation, and turning himself in, Jakhi has shown a refusal to let the federal prosecution dictate how his case proceeds.

Also, Jakhi recently was granted access to a curfew after 8 months of home detention, allowing him to move around New Jersey and be closer to his community. 

Jakhi’s support group and NYC Anti-Repression Group are raising money for their support:
