Amplifier FilmsLeonard Peltier’s release after 49 years of wrongful imprisonment resonates deeply within anti-colonial struggles, particularly when compared to the systematic incarceration of Palestinians under Israeli military rule. Both cases exemplify how settler-colonial states use imprisonment as a tool of repression against Indigenous resistance.Peltier, an Anishinaabe-Lakota activist and member of the American Indian Movement (AIM), was convicted in 1977 for the killing of two FBI agents during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation. His trial was riddled with misconduct, including fabricated evidence, coerced witnesses, and prosecutorial misconduct. The U.S. government made him a political prisoner, punishing him not for any proven crime, but for his role in defending Indigenous sovereignty. His nearly five decades behind bars symbolize the criminalization of Indigenous resistance in North America.Similarly, Israel systematically imprisons Palestinians, especially those engaged in resistance against occupation. Since 1967, over 800,000 Palestinians—including activists, political leaders, and children—have been detained under military rule. Many are held without charge under "administrative detention," a practice that allows indefinite imprisonment without trial. Just as Peltier was targeted for his role in AIM, Palestinians are arrested for organizing protests, resisting land seizures, or even posting anti-occupation statements online.Both cases highlight how settler-colonial powers use incarceration to neutralize Indigenous movements. The U.S. government sought to break AIM through the imprisonment of Peltier, just as Israel aims to weaken Palestinian resistance by jailing its leaders and youth. The goal in both cases is not justice, but deterrence—turning prisons into tools of colonial control.Yet, despite decades of imprisonment, neither Peltier nor Palestinian political prisoners have been silenced. Their struggles continue to inspire movements for decolonization, Indigenous sovereignty, and global solidarity against settler oppression. This is exactly what we seek to unpack in A Red Road to the West Bank—the shared tools of repression used by colonial states and the enduring spirit of resistance that connects Indigenous struggles across continents.🔗 Learn more at: www.redroadtothewestbank.com<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeLeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeLeonardPeltier</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestinianPrisoners" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreePalestinianPrisoners</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousSolidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousSolidarity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Decolonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Decolonization</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIM</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EndColonialPrisons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EndColonialPrisons</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RedRoadToTheWestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedRoadToTheWestBank</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndigenousResistance</a>

Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., Huffington Post reports. "'We applaud your commitment to criminal justice reform and your administration’s work to address inequities in the criminal justice system and rectify the past wrongs of our government’s treatment of Native Americans,' they wrote. 'We urge you to take the next step by granting Mr. Peltier executive clemency or compassionate release.'"Three senators and 30 House members signed the letter. All are Democrats, except for Republican Rep. Tim Burchett, of Tennessee."Peltier, a 79-year-old Indigenous rights activist, has been in prison since 1977. "An all-white jury convicted Peltier of murdering the two agents on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences."In 2021, tribal members sent a petition to Biden, asking for compassionate release or clemency. "In January 2017, then-President Obama turned down a similar request for clemency."Source: <a href="https://ticklethewire.com/33-members-of-congress-urge-biden-to-release-leonard-peltier-from-prison/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ticklethewire.com/33-members-of-congress-urge-biden-to-release-leonard-peltier-from-prison/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeLeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeLeonardPeltier</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CompassionateRelease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompassionateRelease</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmnestyForLeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmnestyForLeonardPeltier</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClemencyForLeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClemencyForLeonardPeltier</a>

With a grant of clemency to Leonard Peltier, Biden could ameliorate a half-century-old injustice not just against Peltier but, in effect, against Native peoples everywhere, many of whom consider Peltier an enduring symbol of racism and state-sponsored oppression in the US."For those Americans who may not have heard of him, Leonard Peltier is known around the world as the US government’s number one political prisoner. A member of the Chippewa and Lakota Nations, Peltier was convicted in 1976 for the deaths, the year before, of two FBI agents killed during a shootout on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. While he was in the area at the time of the shootout, Peltier, who maintains his innocence, has served nearly 50 years and counting for a murder he was never proved to have committed – or even to have aided and abetted."It is widely understood that the federal government railroaded Peltier into prison by withholding and falsifying evidence, coercing witnesses and forcing a change of jurisdiction, among other acts of prosecutorial misconduct and malice. The US attorney James Reynolds, whose office handled the prosecution and appeal of the case, issued a public apology in 2021, acknowledging that the federal government failed to “prove that Mr Peltier personally committed any offense on the Pine Ridge Reservation”. Reynolds has since called on Biden to release Peltier."Reynolds’s statement alone should have been grounds for granting Peltier parole and ultimately clemency. Yet, despite multiple pleas over many decades, Peltier – who just turned 80 and is suffering from multiple health crises including diabetes, kidney disease, heart issues and near blindness – continues to languish in a high-security prison in Florida called Coleman 1."Read more: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/07/joe-biden-leonard-peltiers-clemency" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jan/07/joe-biden-leonard-peltiers-clemency</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FBI</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACAB</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeLeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeLeonardPeltier</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmnestyForLeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmnestyForLeonardPeltier</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClemencyForLeonardPeltier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClemencyForLeonardPeltier</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativeAmericanActivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativeAmericanActivist</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIM</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanindianMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanindianMovement</a>
