Leonard Peltier Denied Parole Again After Nearly 50 Years in Prison

The 79-year-old Indigenous activist remains incarcerated for the 1975 killing of two FBI agents despite ongoing debates about his conviction's fairness.

Peltier's legal team plans to appeal the latest parole denial.
Supporters argue his trial was marred by prosecutorial misconduct and withheld evidence.
The FBI and its agents maintain Peltier's conviction was justified and oppose his release.
Peltier's health is deteriorating, with advocates urging President Biden to grant clemency.
The parole commission has set Peltier's next eligibility for a hearing in 2026.
