Indigenous Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier Denied Parole Again

HeadlineJul 03, 2024

Indigenous leader and political prisoner Leonard Peltier has again been denied parole and won’t be eligible for another full hearing until 2039 — when he would be 94 years old. Peltier, who is 79, has been behind bars for nearly half a century for a crime he says he did not commit. His health continues to deteriorate. His 1977 conviction for alleged involvement in killing two FBI agents in a shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation was riddled with irregularities and prosecutorial misconduct. Supporters vow to continue to fight for his freedom.
