MYON IS HOME
ON 12/15/20 THE MN BOARD OF PARDONS COMMUTED MYON’S SENTENCE FROM LIFE DOWN TO 20 YEARS (18 OF THOSE YEARS HE HAS SERVED). THE BOARD RULED MYON WAS TO BE RELEASED IMMEDIATELY, TO SERVE HIS REMAINING TIME UNDER SUPERVISION.
MYON WAS RELEASED FROM THE STILLWATER PRISON AROUND 6:45PM TO BE GREETED BY HIS FAMILY, THE BLACK ACTIVISTS WHO LED LOCAL CHANGE, AND THE COMMUNITY WHO RACED TO THE PRISON TO EMBRACE HIM.
Liberation for Myon means JUSTICE for Myon, there is still work to be done to have his name exonerated for a crime he did not commit. The work continues, and there is a clear path forward for Myon, his family, and his supporting team.
In this moment we pause to celebrate Myon beginning his life. And we ask for your supporting contributions for Myon jumpstarting his life–more information on his Life After Release fund below.
