UP-DATED FEB. 24TH, 19TH DAY OF FAST/HUNGER STRIKE
END THE TORTURE OF LEONARD PELTIER NOW!
THE LEONARD PELTIER SOLIDARITY FAST/HUNGER STRIKE
STATEMENT
Whereas, the medical condition of American Indian Movement activist
and political prisoner Leonard Peltier is severe and could become
potentially life threating, the repeated denials by the federal prison
system, for two and a half years, of the necessary medical treatment
offered by the Mayo Clinic is nothing other than politically motivated
torture. Leonard Peltier has been, and is, living daily in excrutiating
pain. The U.S. Government should be held accountable for this act of
torture. Should Leonard Peltier's condition become critical, the denial
of medical treatment offered for free by the Mayo Clinic should be
viewed as an act of attempted murder.
Therefore, THE LEONARD PELTIER SOLIDARITY FAST/HUNGER
STRIKE will begin on February 6th, and has the purpose of calling
attention to and helping to mobilize support to end the torture of
Leonard Peltier. This campaign will continue until Leonard is undergoing
treatment in the Mayo Clinic.
Upon February 6th, we are asking those who can to join us on this
hunger strike. Each day of the fast two different fasters will issue a
statement, one in the morning and one in the evening, in their own
words calling for the end of the torture. We are also asking people
who support this campaign to help widely distribute these statements.
Furthermore, we are asking that supporters on each day of the hunger
strike e-mail messages to: Ms. Kathleen Hawk, Director, Bureau Of
Prisons at: [EMAIL PROTECTED],and [EMAIL PROTECTED], asking that
Leonard be allowed medical treatment at the Mayo Clinic. We are also
asking supporters to take whatever positive local actions will advance
this campaign.
