Crimes against native Americans or Red Indians continue - 45 years in prison with no evidence of guilt

'Please Do What Is Right': Native American Lawmakers Urge Biden To Free Leonard Peltier

Leaders of the National Caucus of Native American State Legislators wrote to President Joe Biden on Monday urging him to release Leonard Peltier from prison, warning that the 77-year-old Indigenous rights activist is in poor health and deserves ”to live his final years among his people in dignity.”

“Mr. President, please do what is right,” reads the message from New Mexico state Sen. Benny Shendo (D) and North Dakota state Rep. Ruth Buffalo (D), the chair and vice-chair of the caucus, respectively. The caucus represents 89 Native American state legislators from 21 states.

“Amid our country’s racial reckoning after George Floyd’s murder, Native Americans have not yet been included in any promise of federal justice reform. Your clemency towards Mr. Peltier would change that,” Shendo and Buffalo wrote. “His expected release would sound as a promise to the first peoples of these lands that we too enjoy America’s promise of justice for all.”

“Our communities have suffered enough,” they added. “Please prioritize equity.”

Peltier has been in prison for 45 years without any evidence that he committed a crime. The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office charged him with the 1975 murders of two FBI agents during a shootout on a Native American reservation ― something Peltier has long said he didn’t do, even when taking responsibility for the killings could have meant parole for him. His trial was riddled with misconduct, and even the U.S. attorney who helped put Peltier in prison decades ago is now pleading with Biden to grant him clemency because, he says, federal officials never had evidence that he committed a crime.

 

Above is from Yahoo News. Red Indian imprisoned for 45 years without any evidence of guilt in the USA, land of the free, land of democracy, land of human rights, land of the rule of law or white men's law, land racism against all coloured people, land of hypocrisy, lies and genocides.

And the poor Red Indians, now only calling themselves the first people of the land, not the owners of the land after their land was robbed by the white men by the barrel of the gun, have to beg for the release of one of their leaders imprisoned unjustly for 45 years, with no evidence of guilt. No lawyers to represent them, no white men care for the forgotten original natives of the land. 

USA, the land of white men's hypocrisy and discrimination against all coloured people. If only Leonard Peltier were a Uyghur Muslim, perhaps the hypocritical white men would make a martyr out of him, kill him and parade him along the thoroughfare as a victim of genocide in China. His face would be printed on the front page of all major western media. As a Red Indian, he would best be forgotten in the jail of America, only remembered by the few Red Indians still surviving.

Not to worry, Biden would pardon him as an act of kindness and fairness to the Red Indians, as a champion of coloured people by such an extremely rare act. Hopefully the pardon would come before he dies.
