The
ANSWER Coalition is helping distribute the petition of the
International Leonard Peltier Defense Committee. We urge everyone to
sign and share!
Leonard Peltier has COVID, 46
years in
prison! Hospitalize and free him now!
Friend,
Leonard Peltier is sick. He has
COVID! We urge you to act now to save Leonard Peltier's life.
Leonard is still at Coleman I U.S.
Federal Penitentiary. Leonard’s life is in danger due to his age and
health conditions! His supporters and family urgently ask you to sign
our petition calling for his immediate transfer to a medical hospital
properly equipped for COVID treatment. We also call on President Joe
Biden to grant Leonard Peltier clemency immediately.
JOIN US TO SAVE LEONARD
PELTIER’S LIFE – PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION:
- Transfer Leonard Peltier without
delay to a hospital to receive treatment for COVID!
- President Joe Biden, Listen to the
people, grant Leonard Peltier clemency today!
Every day that passes without Leonard
treated in a hospital endangers his life.
We are calling for Leonard’s transfer
to a hospital immediately. Prison isolation is not care! It is
subjecting him to a possible death sentence without proper medical
intervention!
Leonard is 77 years old. He has
serious health problems that gravely complicate someone his age with
COVID: diabetes, an abdominal aortic aneurysm, kidney disease, high
blood pressure, and he has had open heart surgery.
The Bureau of Prisons failed
to protect Leonard from COVID.
The BOP must act immediately to save his
life!
It is unconscionable that he was not
afforded the booster shot in time to avoid COVID contagion. A booster
shot assures a much higher chance of survival. The Bureau of Prisons’
failure to give a third shot to the prisoners on time means that they
are now obligated to get Leonard Peltier hospitalized immediately. He
must be granted the most aggressive treatment available to assure a
higher rate of survival, such as monoclonal antibodies, and certainly
oxygen to prevent stress and injury to his body. We supporters
stress that Leonard is fully eligible for COVID release, given his age
and multiple comorbidities.
Organizations and prominent
individuals in the U.S. and around the world, are urgently calling for
his freedom. 46 years in prison is not justice, it is an outrageous
punishment for a man who is innocent. Even his trial prosecutor James
H. Reynolds, now says, “I have realized that the prosecution
and continued incarceration of Mr. Peltier was and is
unjust.” Read the full text of the letter here.
Leonard Peltier is a renowned
political prisoner, wrongly imprisoned for 46 years. He is Anishnaabe
and Lakota, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Reservation in
North Dakota. From an early age, Leonard actively advocated for his
people against brutal racism and poverty.
