“Six Years a Prisoner” is a collection of poems and art written by John Griefen “Gap” Arlegui and Reynaldo “JR” Viernes during their six-year incarceration. Known as the Angat 2, they are political prisoners whose only “crime” was their commitment to serving the urban poor.
For this, they were subjected to state repression and charged with fabricated offenses. In February, they were finally released, but their freedom is not the end of the struggle. It marks the beginning of a new chapter. Once again, they rise, carrying the call for justice not just for themselves, but for all victims of state violence and fascism.
Proceeds from this zine will go directly toward supporting their daily needs as full-time community organizers.
