NEW YORK, Nov 19 — A New York judge on Thursday threw out the convictions of two men imprisoned for decades over the 1965 assassination of civil rights leader Malcolm X, acknowledging a gross miscarriage of justice in one of the most high-profile murders in American history.

Aziz, Islam and a third man, Mujahid Abdul Halim, were convicted in 1966 — but historians have long cast doubt on that thesis. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said the probe made “clear these men did not receive a fair trial” and apologized on behalf of the law enforcement community for the “decades-long injustice.”

“While I do not need this court, these prosecutors, or a piece of paper to tell me I am innocent, I am very glad that my family, my friends, and the attorneys who have worked and supported me all these years are finally seeing the truth that we have all known officially recognised,” he added.
