DoomsdaysCW<p>Biden grants activist Leonard Peltier clemency to finish life sentence at home<br>American Indian Movement activist was sentenced to life in prison for killings of 2 FBI agents</p><p>The Associated Press · Posted: Jan 20, 2025 1:05 PM</p><p>"Just moments before leaving office, U.S. President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.</p><p>"Peltier was denied parole as recently as July and wasn't eligible for parole again until 2026. He was serving life in prison for the deaths of the agents during a standoff on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.</p><p>"He will transition to home confinement, Biden said in a statement.</p><p>"Biden has set the presidential record for most individual pardons and commutations issued. He announced on Friday that he was commuting the sentences of almost 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offences. He also gave a broad pardon for his son Hunter, who was prosecuted for gun and tax crimes.</p><p>[...]</p><p>"The fight for Peltier's freedom is entangled with the Indigenous rights movements. Nearly half a century later, his name remains a rallying cry.</p><p>"An enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in North Dakota, Peltier was active in the American Indian Movement, which began in the 1960s as a local organization in Minneapolis that grappled with issues of police brutality and discrimination against Native Americans. It quickly became a national force.</p><p>"The movement grabbed headlines in 1973 when it took over the village of Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge reservation, leading to a 71-day standoff with federal agents. Tensions between the movement and the government remained high for years.</p><p>"On June 26, 1975, agents went to Pine Ridge to serve arrest warrants amid battles over treaty rights and self-determination."</p><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/leonard-peltier-biden-clemency-1.7436142" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cbc.ca/news/indigenous/leonard</span><span class="invisible">-peltier-biden-clemency-1.7436142</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LeonardPeltier</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIndianMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanIndianMovement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIM</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousActivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousActivist</span></a></p>

In January 2024, Y Quynh Bdap and his co-accused were convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison.</p><p>"MSFJ described its inclusion in the list of terrorists as an 'illogical, unjust accusation' and called out authorities for using 'false accusation to suppress religious freedom and peaceful movements.' It asserted that it is committed to peaceful reforms.</p><p>"…from the outset, MSFJ has set clear objectives to struggle through peaceful means, in accordance with the law. This is evidenced by hundreds of violation reports sent to the United Nations. It is a vivid testimony to the peaceful, compassionate spirit of this group.

His way of 'raging in beauty' didn't fit into what society saw as normal or peaceful at all, but I'm reminded today that Klee saw beauty in everything. If it didn't exist in something, he did something about it, he spoke the truth on it. He was someone who lived and breathed beauty, love, kinship, respect ... he embodied hózhó -- we should all be like that.</p><p>"I'm one of three still here at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TaalaHooghan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaalaHooghan</span></a> Infoshop.
