Native American activist Leonard Peltier has been imprisoned in the USA for nearly 50 years, some of which was spent in solitary confinement, serving two life sentences for murder despite serious and ongoing concerns over the fairness of his trial. He has always maintained his innocence. Now 79 years old, he contracted COVID-19 in 2022 and suffers from several chronic health ailments, including one that is potentially fatal. He was denied parole on 2 July 2024. We urge President Biden to grant Leonard Peltier clemency on humanitarian grounds and as a matter of justice.
