Michele Vignola of the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee has issued
an appeal for help. At the prison where Native American political
prisoner Leonard Peltier is being held, the authorities have placed
in Leonard Peltier's cell a homicidal prisoner who has already
murdered his past cellmate. There is reason to believe that the
authorities are hoping to find Leonard dead. Peltier's attorney
is planning a legal appeal in the case which noted attorney William
Kuntzler says ended in his "conviction for a crime he did not commit."
It is widely believed that Leonard Peltier is being used by the
Government as an example of the retaliation that the Government can
inflict against Native Americans who try to unite in opposition to
their historical and ongoing oppression.
Leonard Peltier slept with one eye open last night.
How many nights can he go on fearing that one morning
he may never wake up?
Please add your voice to protect the life of Leonard Peltier,
a brave patriot of his people.
