While less than a week ago, the current heat index in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, is 100 degrees F. The prisoners in solitary confinement at the federal penitentiary are not sheltered from the heat. The prisoners have to sleep on the floor at night to get some semblance of relief.
We received word today that Leonard now has to share his very small isolation cell with another prisoner. We're told that the cell next to Leonard's cell is currently occupied by three prisoners!
Recently, a prisoner in solitary at USP-Lewisburg attempted suicide.
The situation at USP-Lewisburg is critical. Please take action.
Amnesty International designated Leonard Peltier as a political prisoner a long while ago. Amnesty International's Secretariat, based in the UK, is responsible for the majority of the organization's research and leads AI's campaigning work. Please contact AI and urge that organization to immediately take an active hand in this crisis:
