FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Oscar López Rivera (born January 6, 1943) is a Puerto Rican activist and militant who was one of the leaders of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN), a clandestine paramilitary organization responsible for more than 120 bomb attacks on United States targets. A fugitive since 1976 and indicted in 1977 and 1979, López Rivera was arrested on May 29, 1981 and tried by the United States government for seditious conspiracy,
use of force to commit robbery, interstate transportation of firearms,
and conspiracy to transport explosives with intent to destroy government
property. López Rivera maintained that according to international law
he was an anticolonial combatant and could not be prosecuted by the
United States government. On August 11, 1981, López Rivera was convicted
and sentenced to 55 years in federal prison. On February 26, 1988 he
was sentenced to an additional 15 years in prison for conspiring to
escape from the Leavenworth federal prison.The imprisonment of López Rivera was opposed or supported by individuals and groups representing political, religious, and other constituencies. Some called him a terrorist, but others said he was a political prisoner. Several U.S. Congressmen supported López Rivera's release from prison.
U.S. President Bill Clinton offered López Rivera and 13 other convicted FALN members clemency in 1999, on condition they renounce violence, but López Rivera rejected it. On January 17, 2017, President Barack Obama commuted López Rivera's sentence and he was released from prison on May 17, 2017, after 35 years in prison. López Rivera had been incarcerated longer than any other member of the FALN. On February 9, 2017, he was moved from an Indiana prison to Puerto Rico, where he completed the last three months of his sentence under house arrest before being released on May 17, 2017.
López Rivera joined the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN), a Marxist-Leninist organization which in the 1970s fought to make Puerto Rico an independent communist nation. The FALN was involved in more than 100 bombings in New York, Chicago and other cities, including the 1975 bombing at Fraunces Tavern in Manhattan that killed four people.

New York City’s Puerto Rican Day Parade will be honoring convicted terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera, a former member of The Armed Forces of National Liberation, or FALN, who served 35 years in prison for attempting to overthrow the United States government.
The June 11 parade will honor Rivera, who was responsible for making bombs used in the 1975 bombing of a restaurant in Manhattan that led to the death of four people and injured 43.
He was sentenced to 55 years in prison in 1981 on charges of robbery, seditious conspiracy and transportation of firearms and explosives.
In January 2017 Rivera’s prison sentence was commuted by then-President Barack Obama.
Fellow domestic terrorist Bill Ayers celebrated Obama’s clemency for Rivera on Twitter, saying “Great news”.
Fox’s Tucker Carlson recently debated a New York City Democrat over whether Rivera should be considered a hero, or condemned as a violent, radical terrorist.Oscar Lopez freed!— Bill Ayers (@WilliamAyers) January 17, 2017
Chelsea Manning out!!!
Great news! Joy an Justice!
Free Leonard!
Pardon Ethel!
Keep rolling!
The New York liberal defended Rivera, even being bold enough to compare him to Nelson Mandela and MLK.
FDNY and NYPD groups, as well as the New York Daily News, have dropped out of sponsoring the parade due to the decision to honor the convicted terrorist, but New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has no problem marching with him.

New York City Council Speaker: 'Right-Wing Forces' Trying To Undermine Parade Honoring Terrorist
RIVERA NAMED: "HONOREE OF FREEDOM"
Published on May 28, 2017
New
York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito (D-East Harlem) said
"ultra right-wing forces" in Puerto Rico are trying to undermine this
year's Puerto Rican Day Parade. The city's parade made national
headlines with its decision to designate Oscar Lopez Rivera, a convicted
terrorist, as its marshal. Lopez Rivera led the FALN, a left-wing
liberation movement in Puerto Rico, which bombed several sites across
the United States - including NYPD barracks. "A lot of the campaign
putting pressure on the sponsors to withdraw... is being manipulated and
organized and orchestrated from an ultra-right wing element on the
island [of Puerto Rico]," Mark-Viverito said.
Mark-Viverito said pro-statehood forces feel "threatened" by Lopez Rivera's platform and are in turn trying to force companies to drop sponsorship. The right wing in Puerto Rico generally opposes statehood, but Gov. Ricardo Rossello (P) told the New York Post he is confident the protectorate will win statehood in its June 11 vote. Mark-Viverito successfully urged President Obama to commute the sentence of Lopez Rivera, who was released from prison during his administration. Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) recently joined a slew of supporters and sponsors in disavowing their involvement in the parade. Coca-Cola, Goya, the New York Yankees, JetBlue airlines, AT&T and WNBC-4 all dropped their sponsorship of the parade. Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), however, has voiced relative ambivalence to Lopez Rivera leading the popular parade.
