Where Is Joanne Deborah Chesimard Now?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nWhen Joanne Deborah Chesimard escaped jail in 1979, she served a life sentence for murder.<\/p>\n
She has been living quietly in Havana for the past 30 years, occasionally hosting guests in her small apartment, writing, and seldom ever attracting attention to herself.<\/p>\n
In other words, even by FBI norms, Shakur was elevated to the terrorist category for engaging in often protected activities, such as speaking and writing.<\/p>\n
In a piece I wrote for WBEZ at the time, I assumed that adding Shakur to the FBI’s list could have been a tactic to get Cuba to free American Agency for International Development employee Alan Gross.<\/p>\n

This occurred 19 months ago. Then, President Barack Obama claimed that the two nations had been in covert negotiations for 18 months when he declared that the U.S. and Cuba were attempting to improve ties and that Gross would be released.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, Shakur is once again making headlines. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has demanded Shakur’s extradition after she was found guilty of killing one state policeman and critically injuring another.<\/p>\n
However, Shakur won’t return to New Jersey or any other location on American territory. The reason isn’t only because the United States and Cuba don’t have an extradition agreement.<\/p>\n
Both nations have a moral and unethical incentive to permit Shakur to pass away in Havana through natural causes.<\/p>\n

\n Joanne Deborah Chesimard Wanted After Escaping From Prison. Who Were The Victims?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nJoanne Chesimard, currently serving a life sentence for murder, is sought for breaking out of the Clinton, New Jersey jail.<\/p>\n
On May 2, 1973, two New Jersey State Police officers arrested Chesimard and two companions for driving infractions on the New Jersey Turnpike.<\/p>\n
Chesimard belonged to the Black Liberation Army, an extreme revolutionary organization. Chesimard was wanted at the time for her involvement in several crimes, including bank robbery.<\/p>\n
