END THE TORTURE OF LEONARD PELTIER HUNGER STRIKE
BEGINING FEBRUARY 6, 1999
There comes a time when people must step forward and act directly upon
the great injustices of the world. The case of Leonard Peltier is one such
great injustice. February 6, 1999 marks the 23th year of Leonard's
imprisonment. Leonard is in prison for standing up to the evil forces of
the empire of greed. These forces framed Leonard and these forces continue
to cover up their crimes against Leonard and against the people. Leonard
has suffered greatly because of this oppression. They have harassed him at
every point, they attempted to assassinate him, and now they are torturing
him by refusing to allow medical treatment which he desperately needs as he
is in continuous pain and cannot even take nourishment except through a straw.
Yet the people can end this injustice if they are just willing to act in
unity. The call has gone out for a mobilization of all concerned people on
February 6, 1999, THE INTERNATIONAL DAY IN SOLIDARITY WITH LEONARD
PELTIER. It is very important to show solidarity with Leonard in public so
that the forces of evil will know that Leonard's case will not ever go
away, and--more importantly-that it will continue to grow until he is freed!
After much thought, it has been decided that some of us must push this
struggle even further by going on a hunger strike to end the torture of
Leonard Peltier. This hunger strike will begin on February 6th. We are
calling upon those who are able and willing to join us in this hunger
strike. We are also asking that people support this action and act to end
the torture of Leonard Peltier. Please e-mail Clinton, the Bureau of
Prisons and your congresspeople messages demanding the end of the torture.
In Solidarity
