AFTER 49 years and 11 months, Leonard Peltier will finally leave prison. Peltier had his life sentence commuted by former president Joe Biden on January 20, hours before Donald Trump was sworn in.
Peltier, the longest-held political prisoner in the US, is 80 years old and suffers from multiple, severe health ailments due to his nearly half a century of incarceration. Peltier will spend his remaining days in home confinement, as he was not pardoned for the crimes which he has insisted for over 50 years he did not commit.
The news of the commutation of his sentence was widely celebrated as a victory for those who have fought for decades for Peltier’s release.
