Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist, has been released from prison after nearly five decades of incarceration, thanks to a commutation of his sentence by President Biden. Peltier, initially convicted for the murders of two FBI agents in 1975, has long maintained his innocence, arguing that his prosecution was politically motivated. His release has sparked celebrations among his supporters and family, who have planned a welcome home event in Belcourt, North Dakota. Peltier’s case has drawn international attention, highlighting ongoing issues of justice and indigenous rights.
