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


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.

Sarge, will not be pleased with this.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

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.

Typical DUmmies. ALWAYS on the wrong side................of everything.

DUmmies, Peltier is a scumbag.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”
