Camacho Negron, who was convicted on charges in connection with a 1983 robbery from a Wells Fargo depot in Hartford, Connecticut, spent 15 years inside and was released in August 2004. Camacho was arrested during a meeting of the Comite Nacional para la Descolonizacion, an umbrella organization whose goal is to unite all Puerto Ricans who genuinely believe in the decolonization of Puerto Rico, regardless of their current political affiliation. The Feds say Camacho Negron violated the conditions of his parole. Camacho Negron has never acknowledged parole conditions.
