He was captured in 1975 during a bank expropriation alongside anarchist Ojore Lutalo, and later convicted of seditious conspiracy in 1981, receiving a 55-year sentence. In 1988, Kojo was convicted in a high-profile prison escape conspiracy involving helicopters, explosives, and fellow revolutionary Oscar López Rivera.

They are known as the Virgin Island 3: political prisoners from a time the U.S. gov't wants us to forget.

This is not just about history;this is about now.
Because U.S. colonialism didn’t end — it evolved.

📢 Their freedom is long overdue. Say their names. Tell their story
