Description

Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier has been in a United States maximum security prison for nearly 50 years. The US government says he aided in the murder of two FBI agents. But since his trial, allegations of false evidence and coerced testimony have come up. Over the years, the United Nations, activists, and Amnesty International have all called for his release.
