> AN URGENT APPEAL TO END THE TORTURE OF
> LEONARD PELTIER
> American Indian Movement activist and political prisoner
>Leonard Peltier has been framed by the U.S. Government
>for a crime he did not commit. His constitutional rights were
>denied. His appeals for a new and fair trial were denied. All
>of this happen because the U.S. Government sought to
>distract the people from the truth and to cover-up the U.S.
>Government's continuing policies against indigenous
>people and the suppression of those that resisted.
> The government believed that by placing Leonard in
>prison that they had neutralized his resistance and spirit.
>But they were wrong. Leonard continued to speak out against
>the injustice that had been done to him, to his people and
>he became a strong voice for social justice.
> To try to silence Leonard, the prison authorities have
>continuously harassed him and even tried to assassinate
>him. Now they are refusing him medical treatment.
> Leonard is currently suffering from complications
>of a previous maxilla-facial surgery at the Springfield
>Medical Prison facility. In that surgery Leonard
>almost died. Not only did that surgery not improve Leonard's
>condition, it made it far worst. Leonard is now in continuous,
>excruciating pain. He cannot open his mouth enough to bite
>his food, nor can he even chew. Leonard, for very good
>reasons, does not want to go back to Springfield. The
>renowned maxilla-facial surgeon Doctor Keller of the Mayo
>Clinic has written to the prison telling them that he is willing
>the treat Leonard. But so far, the federal Bureau Of Prisons
>(BOP) has refused to let Leonard be treated. If the
>government, for political reasons, causes and allows a
>prisoner to suffer great pain, there is no other word for
>that than torture.
> We are calling upon all people who believe in social
>justice to help in the campaign to end the torture of
>Leonard Peltier NOW! Please send e-mails to:
>Ms. Kathleen Hawk, Director, Bureau Of Prisons
>at:e-mail; [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED],
