Read our privacy policy A man exonerated over the assassination of Malcolm X has sued New York City for $40m for wrongful conviction, which saw him spend two decades in prison. In a lawsuit filed Thursday, Muhammad Aziz said being wrongly accused for 55 years of killing the civil rights leader had caused him and his family “immense and irreparable” damage. Mr Aziz, Khalil Islam and a third accused Mujahid Abdul Halim were convicted in March 1966 for shooting dead the Nation of Islam spokesperson and civil rights activist the year before in Harlem. Last year, family members of the civil rights advocate published a letter publicly by a deceased police officer wherein he stated that the New York police department and FBI were behind the 1965 killing of the famed Black activist and civil rights advocate.
