Ricardo Jiménez was a Puerto Rican terrorist of the FALN (a Stalinist terror group which fought to transform Puerto Rico into a communist state during the 1970s) who received a sentence of 90 years for seditious conspiracy and other charges. He was sentenced on February 18, 1981, and incarcerated in a U.S. federal prison. However, he was released early from prison, after President Bill Clinton extended a clemency offer to him on September 7, 1999.[1]
