Amnesty International is calling on President Biden to grant clemency to Indigenous leader and political prisoner Leonard Peltier, who turns 80 years old today, after nearly a half-century in prison for a crime he says he did not commit. Peltier has always maintained his innocence over the 1975 killing of two FBI agents in a shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation. His conviction was riddled with irregularities and prosecutorial misconduct. In a letter to President Biden, Amnesty International USA wrote, “You have the opportunity to rectify a case that has long troubled human rights advocates and Indigenous Peoples worldwide.” Vigils and other actions are being held today in Washington, D.C., and around the country.
