HEADQUARTERS
CALL TO ACTION FOR LEONARD PELTIER, #89637-132
This morning, July 1, 2005, Cyrus Peltier, grandson
of Leonard went to visit his grandpa as he has for the last 13 years.
He was stopped at the visiting area and was told, "He's gone". Upon
questioning, he was told that Leonard was transferred and after further
inquiries, finally found out that Leonard has been moved to USP Terre
Haute, Indiana. At this time, Leonard is in the hole and is being kept
there indefinitely.
NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT.
It is basic procedure to keep transferred inmates in
the hole while processing takes place, however we do not know how long
that will take.
We are asking anyone and everyone to get on the
phones and get out their pens and paper. Let's flood the telephones
with calls regarding Leonard! Let's stuff their mailboxes with letters
about Leonard! Urge the prison to allow Leonard to contact his family
as soon as possible.
Ask how he is, ask where to write, ask if he's OK,
ask about his health, his privileges (phones, letters, visits, religious
rights, ability to paint, etc.) inquire as to his safety-anything-just
keep calling and let the prison know that the entire world is watching
and is concerned about Leonard. Please be sure to be courteous and
professional, as we do not wish to complicate Leonard's situation.
The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, Peltier Legal
Team and Leonard's family are working hard to ensure Leonard's safety
and we will keep you informed as things develop.
