Leonard #Peltier, the 79-year-old Indigenous activist who has spent nearly 50 years in prison for the 1975 murders of two FBI agents, has been denied parole. Many fear the ruling all but ensures that the longest-imprisoned Indigenous American will die behind bars.

Peltier has maintained his #innocence since he was arrested in connection with the deaths that occurred at the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. #America
