What's up to my gorgeous gophers and ardent American Dippers! Welcome back to another sizzling platter of BNP realness. Thank you for joining! For your tastefully seasoned veggies this week, we look at the case of Leonard Peltier, America's longest incarcerated political prisoner. Leonard is a leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM), an Indigenous Power organization that took over Alcatraz Island for19 months and occupied the site of the Wounded Knee massacre for 71 days. Leonard is innocent. He was targeted and persecuted by the FBI after two agents were fatally wounded in a shootout with AIM members on June 26, 1975 in Oglala, North Dakota. Leonard was present at the shootout, however he was helping to defend women and children, and he did not shoot the agents. The bullets that killed the agents did not match the caliber of Leonard's rifle, and this evidence was withheld from court.The FBI tampered with evidence and intimidated witnesses in Leonard's case, some of whom were minors.Leonard is now 77 years old, and is health is suffering. It's time for Leonard to be set free, so he can live out the rest of his life at home and in peace, and with proper medical care.
