His family said yesterday they will file a $100 million lawsuit against the New York Police Department, CIA and FBI for "concealing evidence" in the murder of civil rights activist Malcolm X.
The announcement came during a press conference by civil rights attorney Ben Crump as well as Malcolm X's daughters Qubilah Shabazz and Ilyasah Shabazz at the Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Centre, according to Anadolu Agency.
“We will also seek justice for a man, a very young man — he was only 39 years old — who gave his life for human rights,” said Ilyasah Shabazz.
Shahbaz accused the federal and New York local agencies of fraudulently concealing evidence of a conspiracy and the execution of plans to assassinate Malcolm X.
“For this great injustice, we will be filing a wrongful death lawsuit against these governmental entities for US$100 million on behalf of his daughters that are coming,” it also reported Crump said.
Malcolm X was assassinated while giving a speech in Harlem on February 21, 1965. Tuesday marked 58 years since his murder.
