Free Leonard Peltier.

Created by B.J. on December 14, 2015

Groups like Amnesty International have classified his as an “unfair trial.” A description of the shooter’s vehicle did not match Peltier’s. Testimony placing him on the scene was later recanted, forensics tests showed that the cartridge case from the scene did not match Peltier’s rifle. The Parole Commission has stated it “recognizes that the prosecution has conceded the lack of any direct evidence that [Peltier] personally participated in the executions of the two FBI agents.” If he is guilty of anything, he is guilty of being a warrior for indigenous rights. Peltier’s supporters are many including the likes of the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Coretta Scott King, and Rigoberta Menchú. This is an opportunity to heal relations between Native peoples and the American government
