On Leonard Peltier's 80th Birthday, NPPC Launches Petition for a Pardon

National Political Prisoner Coalition
Published Sep 12, 2024

Leonard Peltier turned 80 on September 12, 2024, while imprisoned at USP Coleman in Florida. NPPC joined the campaign urging President Biden to grant him clemency.

The coalition’s Free Leonard Peltier petition called for a full presidential pardon and release from custody. A pardon is an act of executive clemency; it does not itself vacate a conviction.

The petition called for a pardon, release and acknowledgment of government misconduct alleged in the case.
