Carlos Alberto Torres is completing his 30th year behind bars this weekend.

In the 1970s, he worked in a movement pushing for Puerto Rican independence from the United States. Authorities say Torres participated in a faction that set off bombs. In 1981, a jury found him guilty of seditious conspiracy…

The U.S. Parole Commission in January held a hearing on whether to release Torres. A spokeswoman says the decision will come “soon.”

Torres’ backers are raising funds for his cause tonight in Chicago.
