The imprisoned Native American activist Leonard Peltier has been denied parole again. The US Parole Commission told the sixty-four-year-old Peltier on Friday that his release would depreciate the seriousness of [his] offenses and promote disrespect for the law. It was Peltiers first full parole hearing in fifteen years, and he will not be eligible for parole again until July 2024, at the age of seventy-nine. We speak with Eric Seitz, Leonard Peltiers attorney.

  • @SpiralUp1 obama is an ass

  • He is still in jail cause he is guilty!!!!!!

  • WHERE IS THE PERSON WILLING TO DO A BALISTICS TEST OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF THEIR HEART? how about the guys from "myth busters" or "mysteryquest"? if a couple detectives & scientists got together & did some modern day research & used some expensive high-tech stuff, this innocent person wouldn't be sitting in prison. *hint hint* ;)

  • on the one side the USA took solshenyzins part and considers itself the garant for a free world, on the other side it toppled democrats (mossadegh, allende, lumumba,..), supported dictators (saddam in the 1980s, botha and apartheid, pinochet,..) and suppresses internal opposition (peltier, albizu campos, fred hampton,...)

  • FREE Leonard Peltier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @SpiralUp1 Cowardice runs deep in the highest corridors of power.

  • Free this man!
