The ongoing fight for Leonard Peltier’s clemency
- Indigenous rights activists are urging President Joe Biden to grant clemency to Leonard Peltier, who has spent nearly 50 years in prison for a crime he claims he did not commit.
- Peltier was convicted for the deaths of two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and his convictions were later reduced to aiding and abetting.
- A documentary titled 'Free Leonard Peltier' is premiering at the Sundance Film Festival to raise awareness about his case and garner support for his release.
- Despite calls for clemency from over 120 tribal leaders, the FBI opposes Peltier's release, and it remains uncertain if his case qualifies under the President's clemency criteria.
