Abstract

The request for clemency for Leonard Peltier is on President Bill Clinton's desk. Will he sign it before he leaves office? The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee is asking people to contact the White House now as they fear the next president might not be likely to give Peltier clemency. Tune in and find out more about the push for clemency and other recent developments in the Peltier case. Guests include Leonard's granddaughter Alex Peltier; Jane Day, an AIM member who was at Pine Ridge during the AIM occupation; and Gena Ghilia, a spokesperson for the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee.
