political prisoner

created by pingouin

(person) by pingouin (4.3 y) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Sat Nov 13 1999 at 10:21:44

Someone in prison for reasons outside of the normal criminal-justice process. Possibly because the person's politics is deemed inimical to the stability (real or imagined) of the state (see: Nelson Mandela). Or maybe because the person's uppitiness (as an activist member of a minority) has caused him/her to be framed for a crime and/or not given a fair shake in the justice system (see: Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal). It might be

"Because I said so."

(see: War on Some Drugs).
