MONTEVIDEO — Leonard Peltier, an indigenous rights activist jailed in the United States for decades, has received the first Mario Benedetti Foundation international human rights prize, the group said Monday.
The group called Peltier, a Native American activist convicted in 1977 for the murder of two US FBI agents, the longest serving political prisoner in the Americas. The case stemmed from a shootout at a reservation in the US state of South Dakota.
"Leonard Peltier, who on September 12, 2011 will turn 67, has spent more than half his life in prison. He is a symbol of resistance to repressive state policies by the United States, where there are people in jail for ethnic, racial, ideological and religious reasons," a foundation statement said.
Not this shit again (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=1882573&mesg_id=1882573)
Things that DUmmies think should be free:
Stuff
Mumia
Leonard Peltier
Too many predictable replies to mention. I say make a gay porn movie of Mumia doing Peltier and force liberals to watch.

4. What a heinous injustice has been done to Mr. Peltier... K&R n/t
::)
Beth thinks he was framed. What evidence does Beth have? Well, "if you don't think there was a coverup, you should ask yourself why."
Brilliant.
