Join in solidarity with the Leonard
Peltier Defense Offence Committee in supporting the release of
Leonard Peltier from a wrongful conviction. International support has
been called for in bringing justice for Leonard.




Gather at noon at Portal Park
(corner of Thurlow & W. Hastings) to hear speakers explain who
Leonard Peltier is to them and why it is important to join in
solidarity for his freedom. Join Elders for prayers for
Leonard.

Leonard was and is a leader and advocate for his
people and has inspired people globally with his words, his courage,
his strength and wisdom.

On February 6, 1976, Leonard Peltier,
citizen of the Anishinabe and Lakota Nations, was apprehended in
Canada and extradited to the U.S. for a murder trial that was
manipulated by the F.B.I.

Charges were unfounded, evidence was
tampered, witnesses were detained and terrorized by F.B.I. agents and
Leonard Peltier was sentenced to two consecutive life terms for
murders he did not commit. Leonard Peltier has been in prison in the
U.S. For 36 years. 

Learn more about the history of Leonard
Peltier, the circumstances that led up to the shootings on Pine Ridge
Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Such history must not be
forgotten until justice is served.
