The "Leonard Peltier Support Group - Italy" asks for publication of the
following message, received by the European Alliance for Leonard Peltier:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
1995 is the 20th anniversary of Pine Ridge Reservation shootout in which two
FBI agents and an American Native, Joe Stuntz Killsright were killed. Four
men were indicted in the murder of the two agents, the death of Joe was never
investigated.

Only three of them ever went to trial: Bob Roobideau and Dino Butler,
Peltier's co-defendant, were found "not guilty" on grounds of self defence,
Peltier had a seperate trial in a hostile state with a judge, Paul Benson,
notorious for his anti-Indian sentiments.

During his trial the FBI and government prosecutors withheld evidence,
coerced witnesses, fabricated the murder weapon, and perjured themselves.
Peltier was convicted of two life terms running consecutively.

Today it can be proven that the government lied about everything. Lynn
Crooks, the prosecuting attorney, has stated that they
_don't_know_who_killed_the_agents_ and that there is no evidence that Leonard
was any closer than 200 yards away while firing a weapon.

Leonard Peltier is innocent.
It is time his unjust imprisonment comes to an end.

A fast for Freedom is scheduled to start on June 1st through June 26th,
the 20t anniversary of the Oglala firefight.

At present in Italy over 100 people have joined the fast and our goal is 1000
hunger strikers on June 26th.

Let June 26th be the appointmewnt to all and everybody.
Imagine the power of this unified fast,
as we are joined worldwide by our Brothers and Sisters.
Imagine the might
that so many hunger strikers
will have on this momentous day!

JOIN THE FAST FOR FREEDOM AND LEONARD PELTIER!

Conatct LPSG-Italy! Leave your name, address, Tel.number and the number of
days you will be fasting before June 26th!
