The Bureau of Prisons Has Again Refused Leonard Peltier Medical Treatment!

          The Bureau Of Prisons (BOP) issued their statement today (URL below) on Leonard's condition. Again they refuse to send Leonard to the Mayo Clinic. The reason that Leonard has refused to be return to Springfield for any more treatment is that last time he was there they almost killed him. The BOP says that they give inmates medical treatment based on community standards. In Springfield they made Leonard's condition far worst and he almost died. What community has such standards of medical care?

          After the BOP statement was issued Leonard was denied communication with his defense committee.

          We ask that everyone who believes in social justice to express their outrage to the BOP. Let them know that we know that their acts are nothing more than politically motivated torture in an attempt to break the sprint of Leonard Peltier and those that support him. Please send as many messages as possible to Ms. Kathleen Hawk Sawyer, Director, Bureau Of Prisons, 320 First St. NW, Washington, DC 20534, fax: 202-514-6878, phone: 202-307-3198, email: khawk@bop.gov and swolfson@bop.gov.

We Will Not Give Up This Struggle!!!
