The U S Dept of Justice, through the Attorney General issued guidelines for Covid Release to Home Confinement for inmates who were elderly and or had compromised immune system or co-morbidities. Leonard Peltier at 77 years old with for years a host of comorbidities including diabetes, hypertension, heart condition, and an aortic aneurysm undeniably meets those conditions.

WHO IS LEONARD PELTIER?
An innocent man, Leonard Peltier is a
Native American activist who was unfairly and illegally tried and
convicted for his participation in a firefight on the Pine Ridge
Reservation in 1975. This event took place amid the high tensions and
extreme violence known as the “Reign of Terror” and left one Native
American and two FBI agents dead. After a trial the following year, in
which two other firefight participants were acquitted on the grounds of
self-defense, the FBI went to extraordinary lengths to get Leonard
Peltier — someone had to pay.
THE CASE
Leonard Peltier was illegally extradited from Canada to
face a trial filled with Constitutional violations. Since his
sentencing, documents proving FBI misconduct that included the
fabrication and suppression of evidence, have been revealed. During
subsequent oral arguments, the US Prosecutor admitted “...we can’t prove
who shot those agents.”
Leonard Peltier remains in prison.
CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS
“The FBI used Mr. Peltier as a scapegoat and they continue to do so today.”
— Don Edwards, Former FBI Agent/US Congressman
> Illegally extradited from Canada
> Thousands of documents withheld during trial
> Egregious trial conditions
> Coerced testimonies
> Fabricated affidavits
CURRENT STATUS
To the international community, Leonard Peltier’s
imprisonment is a stain on the United States’ human rights record. Many
human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, consider
him a political prisoner and demand his immediate release. Now in prison
for over 45 years (as of Feb 6, 2021), Leonard continues to struggle with ailing health. As
a father, grandfather, and great grandfather, he would like to be able
to spend the remainder of his life with his family and his people.
Leonard is also an author, artist and a humanitarian who has been
nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize.
