Free Peltier - Investigate f.b.i. - End Iraq Occupation-For-Oil
Amnesty International is calling on presidential candidates to promise to grant Leonard Peltier a presidential pardon once elected into office. Leonard Peltier, an indigenous “American Indian”, has been in prison for 30 years for the shooting deaths of two under cover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Amnesty International urges the elected president in 2008 to immediately free the political prisoner whose guilt has long been in question and whose freedom has been demanded by supporters such as Nelson Mandela, the Dahli Lama, Mother Theresa, and numerous state and federal legislators.Amnesty International believes that any “evidence” that Peltier shot the two FBI agents is fabricated – to say the least. One of the organizations pivotal concerns was that his extradition from Canada was on the basis of a testimony by an alleged eye-witness (who later admitted never have meeting Peltier and to lying based on FBI threats to her children) who was coerced by the FBI into making false statements.
Amnesty International has repeatedly voiced serious concerns over the fairness of the legal proceedings that led to Peltier’s conviction and sentence, and believes that political factors influenced the way in which the case was conducted.
Join the support for an immediate and complete congressional investigation into any and all past and present FBI misconduct, such as the COINTELPRO program of the 50's through 70's to the wrongful imprisonment of Leonard Peltier debacle in the late 70's.
Urge legislators to include an investigation into the murder of Joseph Stuntz in 1975 by unknown government agents, the continued wrongful incarceration of human rights advocates and Prisoner of Undeclared War, Leonard Peltier (who was denied 12 thousand pages of FBI documents proving his innocence), and political prisoner, Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Amnesty International has repeatedly voiced serious concerns over the fairness of the legal proceedings that led to Peltier’s conviction and sentence, and believes that political factors influenced the way in which the case was conducted.
The two FBI agents were shot and killed during a gunfight when the two under cover agents entered a private acreage in an unmarked car, initiated and commenced shooting upon the armed family security people camped there, including the members of the American Indian Movement (AIM), in which Leonard Peltier was present and openly admitted defending. Peltier was illegally extradited from Canada to the u.s. and convicted by a racist North Dakota judge for “murder” in 1977 – without even having the chance to defend himself with his “self-defense” defense.
Iraq Occupation End
Amnesty International also asks voters to demand statements from campaigning presidential candidates that will bind them to immediately withdrawing from Iraq once elected into office in 2008. Peltier Petition:http://www.petitiononline.com/DaNakota/ To: Senate/House of Representatives/President/Political CandidatesA congressional investigation into alleged misconduct by the federal bureau of investigation (FBI).Encourage your senator/representative to lead the call to insure that the FBI no longer abuses its power through concealing evidence, coercion of witnesses, securing false affidavits, etc. It is the duty and legal responsibility of highly trained and paid professionals - billionaires such as the FBI - to supply every piece of evidence to the defense of an accused person, whether or not the evidence is for or against the accused. That is the way the legal system is set up.Join the support for an immediate and complete congressional investigation into any and all past and present FBI misconduct, such as the COINTELPRO program of the 50's through 70's to the wrongful imprisonment of Leonard Peltier debacle in the late 70's.
