Four Black rights activists associated with the African People’s Socialist Party and Uhuru Movement have been found guilty in a Florida federal court of conspiring to act as unregistered Russian agents. The activists include an 82-year-old chairman, a 78-year-old leader, a 34-year-old leader, and a 38-year-old former member who established his own group.
The jury deliberated for a day before returning the guilty verdicts on the conspiracy charges, which carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison. The more serious charges of acting as agents of a foreign government were not upheld by the jurors.
