URGENT! Leonard Peltier's Safety in Jeopardy!<br>
<br>
Dear LP Supporters,<br>
<br>
I am so OUTRAGED! My brother Leonard was severely beaten upon his arrival at the Canaan Federal Penitentiary. When he went into population after his transfer, some inmates assaulted him.<br>
The severity of his injuries is that he suffered numerous blows to his head and body, receiving a large bump on his head, possibly a concussion, and numerous bruises. Also, one of his fingers is swollen and discolored and he has pain in his chest and ribcage. There was blood everywhere from his injuries.<br>
<br>
We feel that prison authorities at the prompting of the FBI<br>
orchestrated this attack and thus, we are greatly concerned about his safety. It may be that the attackers, whom Leonard did not even know, were offered reduced sentences for carrying out this heinous assault. Since Leonard is up for parole soon, this could be<br>
a conspiracy to discredit a model prisoner. He was placed in solitary confinement and only given one meal, this is generally done when you won't name your attackers; incidentally being only given one meal<br>
seriously jeopardizes his health because of his diabetes. Prison officials refuse to release any info to the family, but they need to hear from his supporters to protect his safety, as does President Obama. His attorneys are trying to get calls into him now.<br>
<br>
This attack on LP comes on the heels of the FBI's recent letter, prompting this attack by FBI supporters as an attempt to discredit LP as a model prisoner. Anyone who has been in the prison system knows well that if you refuse to name your attackers or file charges<br>
against them, then you lose your status as a victim and/or given points against your possible parole and labeled as a perpetrator. <br> <br>
Thank you Betty Peltier-Solano Executive Coordinator<br>
Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee<br>
<br>
Call and request Leonard be treated with dignity and<br>
respect. Canaan Federal Prison:<br>
