URGENT CALL FOR ACTION
Following a very promising parole hearing on December 10, Leonard Peltier
was suddenly and unexpectedly transferred from Leavenworth to the Oklahoma
City transfer center, en route to the federal penitentiary in Atlanta,
Georgia. The Atlanta penitentiary is one of the most dangerous in the
country, and there is a very real chance that Leonard is being set up to
be killed.
Urgent action is needed. Call or fax the Atlanta Penitentiary and:
1. Let them know that Leonard is in danger
2. Urge that Leonard be put in protective custody if he is
transferred there
3. Inform them that they will be held accountable for
Leonard Peltier's safety while he is in their custody
The numbers for the Federal
Penitentiary in Atlanta are:
Phone: 404-622-6241
Fax: 404-331-2137
Also, now is a critical time to write to the United States Parole
Commission and urge them to give Leonard his long-overdue freedom; a
decision is supposed to be made in the next four to five weeks.
