WASHINGTON (AP) — TXvelve
p>14 jailed Puerto Rican nation-
J sts agreed yesterday to a polit-
lly sensitive clemency deal of-
ed by President Clinton but
posed by his wife, prospective
w York Senate candidate
lary Rodham Clinton.
The Puerto Ricans, jailed on
'alons and sedition convic-
ns. are members of pro-inde-
ndence guerrilla groups that
rrit d out a wave of bombings
th( United States in the 1970s
d|980s.
Tie nearly month-old offer is
i nditioned on statements from
ch independence activist that
L, sywill not engage in violence if
CpMeased. The activists had until
‘ ida\’ to take or leave the deal.
imprisoned activists are
pepted to reject the clemency
Ter, the White House said. Two
tiers, who are not in jail, have
lothei week to respond. If they
;ree to the White House terms,
eir tines will be reduced.
‘The president expects all
those who accept the conditional
clemency grant to abide fully but
its terms, including refraining
from the use of. advocacy of the
use of violence for any purpose
and obeying all the statutory con
ditions of parole, - ” White House
press secretary Joe Lockhart said
in a statement.
"/ think its enough.
Its already a lot And
its time for him to
come home to me."
— Deadina Ortiz
Mother of jailed nationalist
At a news conference in San
Juan, activist leader Luis Nieves
Falcon confirmed that 11 mem
bers of the Armed Forces of Na
tional Liberation and one leader
of the Macheteros separatist
group had accepted the three-
week-old offer even though it re
quired them to formally renounce
violence and agree not to associ
ate with felons.
“The conditions are terrible,”
Deadina Ortiz, mother of New
York City art teacher Elizam Es
cobar, who has been in jail in Ok
lahoma for 19 years, said. “Clin
ton’s crazy. How can somebody
say, for example, that two sisters
can’t see each other just because
of their beliefs. However, I think
it’s enough. It’s already a lot.
And it’s time for him to come
home to me.”
The Armed Forces of National
Liberation, known by its Spanish
initials FALN, carried out more
than 100 bombings in the United
States between 1974 and 1983.
The bombings killed six and
wounded dozens. The imprisoned
nationalists were not convicted in
any of the bombings but were
found guilty of seditious conspir
acy and possession of weapons
and explosives.
