Grenada 17

The Grenada 17 was the group name given to 17 individuals who were convicted of murder and manslaughter in the October 1983 palace coup against Prime Minister Maurice Bishop of Grenada. The group, consisting of People's Revolutionary Government (PRG) officials and military personnel, were tried in 1986. Many of them received death sentences that were later commuted to life imprisonment. All 17 were eventually released from prison by 2009.
