Subject: END THE TORTURE OF PELTIER HUNGER STRIKE
please post widely
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 unjustices of the world. The case of Leonard Peltier is
one such great unjustice. 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
