Free Leonard Peltier
Published Sep 14, 2006 9:09 AM
Supporters of political prisoner Leonard Peltier held signs in front of
the federal building in Manhattan on Sept. 12 demanding his freedom. It was also
Peltier’s 62nd birthday. A leader of the American Indian Movement, he is
serving a life sentence, having been railroaded into jail allegedly for the
deaths of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge reservation in 1975. He has been
imprisoned for the past 30 years and is in failing health. Peltier’s
supporters were also demanding that the FBI release thousands of documents under
the Freedom of Information Act that could prove his innocence. He is presently
incarcerated in Leavenworth Prison.
