Leonard Peltier was imprisoned for almost 50 years, but he was released from prison earlier this year. Leonard is a Native American activist who was charged and convicted of the murder of two FBI agents in Pine Ridge in 1975. Leonard has always denied his guilt, and the trial against him has been criticized, among other things, because there is a lack of evidence against Leonard.
Leonard’s release in February is of course wonderful. But unfortunately, that does not mean that he is completely free. Leonard has been imposed house arrest as a restriction, which means that he is not allowed to leave his home. Another thing that complicates Leonard’s difficult situation is that he has not yet received the medical care he needs, after years of neglect in prison. He is waiting for eye surgery in May. Leonard is 80 years old.
Leonard still needs our support. Show him that he is not alone. Keep writing letters to him (Leonard cannot read due to an eye disease, but he gets help to read all the letters sent to him).
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!
