Carlos Alberto Torres (Puerto Rican nationalist)
Carlos Alberto Torres (born September 19, 1952) is a member of Puerto Rico's independence movement.〔(La Prensa San Diego. By Marjorie Cohn. ''The Incarceration of Carlos Alberto Torres: After 30 Years in Prison, the Puerto Rican Political Prisoner Will Be Freed.''. Vol. XXXIII. July 30, 2010. )〕 He was convicted and sentenced to 78 years in a U.S. federal prison for seditious conspiracy - conspiring to use force against the lawful authority of the United States.〔(Puerto Rico Daily Sun. ''Political prisoner to be released.'' July 17, 2010. )〕 He served 30 years, being released on July 26, 2010.〔(Primera Hora. By Leoncio Pineda Dattari. ''Saldrá en Libertad Preso Político Puertorriqueño Carlos Alberto Torres.'' July 16, 2010. )〕
==Crimes and Convictions==
Torres was convicted of a seditious conspiracy carried out by the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN), which claimed responsibility for numerous bombings, which led to six deaths.〔(The Los Angeles Times. ''11 Arrested as Puerto Rican Terrorists.'' April 6, 1980. )〕〔(The San Francisco Chronicle. Violent nationalist group leader welcomed in Puerto Rico. By Danica Coto. July 27, 2010. )〕 Torres was first linked to the criminal conspiracy carried out by the FALN in 1976. That year, a burglar was arrested in Chicago attempting to peddle stolen explosives. The burglar led the Chicago police to an apartment, owned by Torres, and nearly void of furniture, but in which there were boxes containing explosives and bomb-making paraphernalia, weapons, clothing, wigs, and photographs of Chicago buildings, maps of the city, and several FALN documents, including a manual for guerrilla warfare detailing deceptive practices and rules of clandestine living titled ''Posición Política''. This bomb factory was also linked to Oscar López Rivera and his wife, Ida Luz Rodriguez, as well as to Torres' wife, Haydee Torres Beltran. All four became fugitives after this discovery.The four suspects were also linked to the National Commission on Hispanic Affairs (NCHA) of the Protestant Episcopal Church, a charitable organization based in New York City that was meant to fund projects to assist Hispanic communities all over the United States.
The next break in the investigation, occurred in 1977, when 11 FALN members, including Carlos Torres and his wife, were arrested during a planned robbery of armored truck in Evanston, Illinois. The case of his wife, Torres Beltran, was adjudicated in New York, because fingerprint evidence was able to identify her as the person placing the bomb that killed 26-year-old Charles Prendergast at the Mobil office building in New York. Carlos Torres and most of the others arrested in Evanston were convicted of seditious conspiracy among other charges.〔(''Effects and effectiveness of law enforcement intelligence measures to counter homegrown terrorism: A case study on the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN)'' ); Roberta Belli, Final Report to the Science & Technology Directorate, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, August 2012, page 16.〕
Some point out that Torres himself was never convicted of participating in specific bombings, or of specifically being involved in causing any deaths.〔''CounterPunch'', 26 July 2010, (The Incarceration of Carlos Alberto Torres )〕 He was released on 26 July 2010, after 30 years in prison.〔 In the 1970s Torres was listed for three years as one of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives during the 1970s.
