The result is the division of Left forces and the creation of

POPSYE JACKSON AND SALLY VOYE: CHRONCLOGY Of EVENTS
On June 4, 1975 the NWLP issued an open letter to Poneye
Jackaon and the neople asking him to respond to ousstions thoy
had about his revolutionary practice. We recognize the serious-
neas of the allegations in the letter and we belisve that it
was Popeye's responsibility to resoond to them. It is our
information that he fully intended to do this.
Cn June ©, 1975 Popeye Jackson and Sally Voye were execnied.
There was immediate suspicion, especlally within the UPU, that
the action was carried out by police agents. Two days lster a
comsuniane was delivered to the San Francisco Chrenicle by &

gald that Popeye had been executed for working as a pigg &-ente
UFU's ressonse to the communique was a denunctatio:n of the Mw.
The next day the NWLF tssued a communique denying responsibilstc
for the acte They restated their allegations agninst Popeye,
explaining that any evidence they had was not enough to wore:
them carrying out an execution. They called on the neonte who
carried out the action to present evidence that would orove
that Popeye deserved to be exeaouted.
POPEYE JACKSON

comrade. We supnorted his work in the prison movement, and bis
outspoken stance in critically supportins guerrilia fighters.
Popeye was constantly under harrassment from the digs because
of his uncompromising position tn support of armed struggle and
the rights of the convicted class. Abeut Ss lly Voye, we have
no knowledge other than what we have read in the pic media.
At this point there is no conelusive proof about whether
treo executions of Poneye and Sally vere carried out by ‘Guerrillas
or by police counter-tntelligence agents. The communicue claim-
ine resvonsibility for the act was totally incomolete. Jt didn't
detail any acts of collaboration on Poveye's part which would
justify his execution. It made certain allegations that brounit
