Leonard’s Parole Hearing has finally been scheduled for July 27, 2009, and is the focus of an international campaign in the coming months. Currently housed in the federal prison at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Native American artist, writer, and activist Leonard Peltier––one of the most widely recognized political prisoners in the world––has spent more than 33 years in some of the cruelest prisons in the United States, unjustly condemned to a double life sentence for the shooting death of two FBI agents in 1975. His situation is now aggravated by health problems. (((http://www.whoisleonardpeltier.info/parole_hearing_072809.htm)))
