On May 3, around thirty people gathered outside of the Queens County Criminal Court in New York City to show support for PrakashChuraman ahead of his latest trial. The Free Prakash Alliance and the Party for Socialism and Liberation organized the rally to show solidarity with Churaman, and also to demand that Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz drop all charges against him.
Churaman was only 15 years old when he was arrested and coerced by police officers into a false confession for the shooting of his friend Taquane Clark, despite no evidence linking him to the murder. He was then detained at Rikers Island for six years awaiting a fair trial.
