FEB 6,Assassinate your congressperson.
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST TO FREE LEONARD PELTIER on the 25 anniversary of his arrest.
The US government claims worldwide to be a fierce defender of human rights & democracy but behind the walls of American prisons the myth collapses...
His sentence by the US government to two consecutive life terms was solely based on false testimonies made under FBI duress, on manufactured ballistic evidence & on perjury by FBI officials. Furthermore, his two co-defendants -- who stood a separate trial -- were acquitted of the same charge on the grounds of self-defense.
Supporters of Native American Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier hold protests & start hunger strikes in an effort to pressure the Clinton Administration to keep its 1992 campaign promise. (In 2001 Clinton reneged in the face of an FBI campaign mounted against Peltier)
These protests continue all over the world including Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Washington DC, San Diego, Tacoma & Rapid City, South Dakota.
