On 20 January 2025 in the final hour of his presidency, President Biden announced that he was commuting the sentence of Native American activist Leonard Peltier. This will allow Leonard to finish the remainder of his sentence under home confinement with his loved ones and community instead of behind bars. Amnesty previously sent observers to Leonard Peltier’s trial in 1977 and has campaigned for his release from prison for many years. Amnesty International will continue to monitor the circumstances of his confinement moving forward. Thank you to all who took action on behalf of Leonard over all these decades.
NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUESTED. MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO SENT APPEALS.
Thank you for your global mobilization, many sections took part in the campaign for Leonard’s release from prison.
We hope to connect with him in the coming months to share with him the actions that took place on his behalf.
NAME AND PREFFERED PRONOUN: Leonard Pelter, he/him
