Next June 10 is an important date for Leonard Peltier and for all the committees calling for his release. A committee in the U.S. may decide on house arrest because of his health condition; Leonard is almost 80 years old and sick.
In different parts of the world, initiatives are multiplying to make the voices of all those close to him heard.
In Rome six events took place in three days: at the Testaccio Library and festival of Lands, at Spin Lab, at the Che Guevara Circle, at Friccicore, meetings and especially screenings of Andrea Galafassi’s excellent documentary, “Mitakuye Oyasin.” So many small occasions, not only to make his story known, but to forge relationships with comrades and companions.
Especially on Saturday 18th May, in the morning, an important presidium was held in front of the U.S. Embassy. Several people thought it would never be allowed, but it was. The digos officers (Italian political police), on this occasion, were particularly polite and some even seemed interested in hearing the incredible story of Leonard Peltier. Many were the speeches, the slogans, the strength expressed by fifteen or so people well convinced of what they were doing.
