Beginning April 29, Paseo Boricua will be witness to a group of 31 mostly young people spending 24 hours in a makeshift prison cell at Batey Urbano to simulate the 31 years Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera has spent in prison for struggling for the independence of Puerto Rico.
The ambitious effort, a joint effort of the Latin@ Coalition, Batey Urbano and NBHRN will also include letter writing to Oscar, as well as guards and will culminate in a major event commemorating his arrest and 31 years of imprisonment on Tuesday, May 29.
