Please, write to him! It
means so much!
Leonard Peltier suffers
from DIABETES, since many
years.
At the end of June, 2008, the LPDOC informed that to date
Leonard's
diabetes has been managed by diet - but this is difficult to do in
prison.
Leonard's diabetes is
causing him increasing problems! This is not only
"uncomfortable" for Leonard - it is also very dangerous! It
is life threatening.
He is at serious risk for kidney failure (and the need of dialysis),
blood
vessel damage in the eyes can lead to blindness, nerve damage in
the feet
could lead to the need for amputation.
Heart disease is the major
cause of death in people with diabetes.
Leonard already suffers from a heart condition.
Leonard is in
DIRE NEED of a diabetes
testing kit so that
he can control his diabetes!
Leonard needs our help!
Act now!
Write a letter or send a fax, send an e-mail, make a phone call.
Keep doing this until Leonard gets the diabetes testing kits!
Please be respectful when
you write - but be firm.

address information of whom
the supporters are urgently requested to contact.

On June 30,
2005, Leonard Peltier was transferred from
USP Leavenworth in Kansas, to USP Terre Haute in Indiana.
Without notifying his family or his attorneys...
For a number of weeks, he was kept in an isolation cell.
On August 15,
2005,
Leonard was transferred again, to yet another prison!
He was now transferred to
USP Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
USP Lewisburg,
Pennsylvania, is where Leonard still is kept.

Beware of the pleas of the oppressed, because they will
ask for justice from
The Creator, and The Creator does not
deny the rights of the deserving. |
Visit the
LPDOC
website for information on how to write to
USP Lewisburg, the US Federal Bureau of Prisons,
and a more complete list of contacts!
Please!
Please write
to your senators, congress people, asking them to look into
Leonard's case, its improprieties
and the additional torture that it
means for a sixty year old
man who is not well
to be transferred at this
stage in his sentence and be held indefinitely in solitary
confinement!
