Hi --,

When Gulsoom was 15, she was forced to marry a 40-year-old man. Her husband was an addict who regularly beat her. Feeling trapped in her abusive marriage, Gulsoom attempted suicide by setting herself on fire.

Afghan women deserve to live free from abuse:  www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFUMR/zknA/BiLy

More and more Afghan women are resorting to suicide in order to escape abuse within forced marriages. The situation worsened last year when the Karzai government passed a law legalizing marital rape. For many women, death seems like the only way out.

Women should not be treated as second-class citizens. But until the Karzai government enforces protection of womens' rights and outlaws domestic violence, the women of Afghanistan will continue to seek refuge through suicide.

Tell the President of Afghanistan that women need to be protected from violence and abuse:  www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFUMR/zknA/BiLy

Thanks for taking action!

Subject: 1 million against GMO crops

Dear friends,

The European Commission has just authorised growing genetically modified crops, putting the GM lobby's profits over the health concerns of the public. Click below and help build a one million strong citizen's petition calling for independent research and strong regulation of GM foods:

 


 

The European Commission has just approved growing genetically modified crops in the European Union for the first time in 12 years!

Caving to the GM lobby, the commission has ignored 60% of Europeans who feel we have to get the facts first before growing foods that could pose a threat to our health and environment.

A new initiative allows 1 million EU citizens to make official legal requests of the European Commission. Let's build a million voices for a ban on GM foods until the research is done; they will be delivered to the President Barroso of the European Commission. Sign the petition and forward this email to friends and family:

www.avaaz.org/en/eu_health_and_biodiversity/?vl


Consumers, public health, environmental and farmers groups have long rallied against a few international GM companies having such significant influence over European agriculture. Concerns about growing GM crops include: contamination of organic crops and the environment; their impact on climate due to the excessive need for pesticides; the destruction of biodiversity and local agriculture; and the effects of GM food on public health.

EU member states have voiced strong opposition to the decision made a few days ago to authorise BASF's potato and Monsanto's maize -- Italy and Austria are opposed, and France said it would ask for further scientific research.

There is still no consensus on the long-term effects of GM crops. And it is the GM industry, pursuing profits not public well being, that is funding the science and driving the regulatory environment. That is why European citizens are calling for more independent research, testing and precaution before crops are unleashed onto our land.

Now, the "European Citizens' Initiative" gives 1 million EU citizens the opportunity to submit policy proposals to the European Commission and offers us a unique chance to drown out lobbyists' influence.

Let's raise 1 million voices to put a moratorium on the introduction of GM crops into Europe and set up an independent, ethical and scientific body to research and determine the strong regulation of GM crops. Sign the petition now and then forward it widely:
www.avaaz.org/en/eu_health_and_biodiversity/?vl

With determination,

Alice, Benjamin, Ricken, Luis, Graziela and the entire Avaaz team.

Flawed justice: The case of Leonard Peltier

By PETER WORTHINGTON, Toronto Sun
Last Updated: March 13, 2010



Leonard Peltier is now starting his 35th year in prison.

He is 65, and more than half his life has been spent as a prisoner.

Impassioned supporters who argued for justice and his freedom in the past, have grown silent.

Bored, frustrated, exhausted, they have died, or become involved in other causes.

Peltier has faded in memories.

These include Amnesty International, for whom Peltier is still a political prisoner of conscience.

His defenders include Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Tutu, the archbishop of Canterbury, members of the European Parliament, some 50 Canadian MPs, Hollywood mogul David Geffen, and various Leonard Peltier defence committees around the world.

Most have dropped by the wayside.

Robert Redford made a movie about him: Incident at Oglala. The Belgian and Italian parliaments espoused his freedom. They've joined the ranks of the silent - not because anything has changed, but because Washington wouldn't listen.

Somewhat sheepishly, I admit, to having been sidetracked to other issues over the past 15 years.

Three times I visited Peltier when he was incarcerated at the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. Since then he has been moved several times - to the federal prison at Terre Haute, Ind.; to Lewisburg, Pa.; to Canaan, Pa., and today back to Lewisburg.

At each, he was jumped, beaten, threatened with death by so-called native inmates when in general population. Provocateurs? Who knows?

Peltier insists his only enemies are the system and justice department.

In the past I (and others) argued that the case against Peltier was not only flawed, but grotesquely dishonest, unfair and unjust, replete with admittedly perjured testimony and fraudulent evidence by the FBI.

No longer should guilt be an issue - Peltier is not a conventional criminal or felon.

Even if one believes he was guilty, he has served enough time and deserves to be free. But no - that's not the American way in his case.

Peltier was found guilty in the 1975 shooting deaths of two FBI agents - Ron Williams and Jack Coler - during a range war on the Lakota-Sioux reserve at Pine Ridge, S.D., near Wounded Knee where, in 1973, there was a highly publicized 71-day siege.

The Pine Ridge range war was between traditional, back-to-our-roots Indians, and "progressive" mixed-blood Indians who favoured the mining of uranium on Indian land.

The militant American Indian Movement (AIM) sided with the traditionalists, while the FBI, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and authorities backed the progressives.

The FBI had labeled AIM a terrorist organization, trained and financed by Castro and the Soviet Union - phony charges, evolving from Cold War paranoia of the day. AIM was (is) an Indian advocacy group.

In a three-year period at Pine Ridge, over 60 murders occurred, not one of which was ever investigated, much less solved.

On the day Coler and Williams died - chasing a "red pickup truck" into the Jumping Bull community, allegedly driven by Jimmy Eagle who was believed to have stolen some cowboy boots - another young Indian, Joe Stutnz, was shot and killed. No investigation was ever held.

Shots were fired and returned. Some 125 bullet holes were found in the two FBI cars.

Peltier was one of four Indians charged with murder, but he fled to Alberta where eventually he was turned over to the RCMP.

The other three went on trial, where one had charges against him dismissed.

The other two, Bob Robideau (since deceased) and Dino Butler, were found not guilty, having fired in self-defence.

The prosecution's circumstantial evidence against them was too thin to get a conviction.

At Peltier's extradition hearing in Vancouver, the FBI produced affidavits by one Mabel Poor Bear, claiming she was Peltier's girlfriend, and had witnessed him shooting the FBI agents at close range.

It subsequently turned out Poor Bear was a mental case, had never met Peltier, and was nowhere near the murder scene.

She later tried to recant, claiming she didn't even know what Peltier looked like, and claimed the FBI threatened to take away her child if she didn't sign the affidavit.

The trial court judge refused to hear her testimony.

But her fabricated affidavit got Peltier extradited. (Canada's solicitor general at the time was Liberal MP Warren Allmand, who supported the extradition, but later became one of the strongest advocates on behalf of Peltier, urging the U.S. to review his case.)

At Peltier's trial, the FBI claimed ballistic tests proved Peltier's AR-15 rifle had fired the bullets that killed the agents.

This was later proved to be false - shell casings at the death scene did not come from Peltier's rifle.

At his trial prosecutor Lynn Crooks said categorically that evidence proved Peltier "killed the agents in cold blood". Later, in appeal, Crooks said he believed Peltier had killed the agents "but we didn't prove it".

At a parole hearing in 1995 Crooks said if there was a retrial "the government could not re-convict".

Parole was rejected because Peltier was the only one they had, even though the court ruled that the FBI's suppression of evidence "cast strong doubts" on the government's case. The jury heard none of this.


Mishandled key evidence

Radical left-wing lawyer William Kunstler (now deceased) represented Peltier at his appeal - and mishandled key evidence which the 8th circuit appeal judge, Gerald Heaney (since deceased), later said would probably have gotten Peltier freed, or a new trial if he, the judge, had known the facts.

Kunstler apologized, and urged the judge not to penalize Peltier for his mistake.

I interviewed Judge Heaney who said he had urged then-president Bill Clinton through Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye, to have Peltier granted clemency.

Clinton had indicated he'd grant executive clemency to Peltier, but changed his mind when some 500 FBI agents, retirees and families demonstrated outside the White House. Instead, Clinton pardoned Marc Rich who was indicted for illegal oil deals with Iran, and tax evasion.

In their book Game Change, authors John Heileman and Mark Halperin note that billionaire David Geffen had lobbied Clinton to pardon Peltier whom he felt was innocent. When Clinton pardoned Rich, Geffen saw this "as a sign of corrupted values", and backed Obama for the presidency instead of Hillary Clinton.

In prison, Peltier has had a rough time. At Leavenworth his jaw was atrophying without medical attention - until publicity got him treatment.

He is going blind from diabetes, has kidney failure and is susceptible to strokes. He feels occasional beatings by inmates are stage-managed, but says what cannot be taken from him are "my dignity and self-respect ... even if I die here."

The law, in 1976, was that inmates with a good record after 30 years should get mandatory release. When Peltier's 30-year parole hearings came up, he says "five FBI and government witnesses hammered me for over five hours that I should not be released ... so the parole board gave me another 15-year sentence." (His next parole hearing is in 2024).

Peltier's appeal of the parole board decision, has already been rejected, despite acknowledgement of his unblemished prison record.

Prior to rejection he wrote me: "I am waiting for them to destroy my appeal. I can't see these same parole commissioners changing their minds, so I know what I'll get. Next I will file in the federal courts, as we have some strong expert issues to file on. I have no doubt we can kick some butt in court, but even if I win, it will take five or 10 years before all the appeal processes take place, so you can consider the 15-year hit as a death (a slow-one) sentence."

What stands out in Peltier's case is the vindictiveness of the FBI and the justice system.

With the absence of clear proof who shot the agents in 1975, the FBI is determined that someone - anyone - must be held responsible.

Had Peltier not escaped to Canada, and had he gone on trial with Robideau and Butler, he, too, would have been acquitted.


Flaws in case

Flaws in the case include the FBI changing the "red pickup truck" to a "red and white van" - owned by Peltier, three prosecution witnesses recanted and claimed intimidation forced their compliance, the jury heard nothing of the FBI's suppression of evidence or its being rebuked by the court, fraudulent ballistic evidence withheld from the jury and the FBI's later admission that "we do not know who killed the agents".

Author Peter Matthiessen's book on Peltier's case, In the spirit of Crazy Horse, was delayed seven years to 1992 because of FBI legal suits against its publication.

In it, Matthiessen interviews a "Mr. X" who alleges he was the one who fired the fatal shots into the FBI agents.

I became convinced that Mr. X was Bob Robideau, whom I phoned in Spain and questioned him. He equivocated.

When I phoned Judge Heaney, of the 8th circuit appeal court, he also implied Robideau might have been the shooter.

If so, "he had already been found not guilty of murder and could not be tried again," Heaney said.

After 34 years in prison, and considering the political and social unrest at the time of the 1975 Pine Ridge Indian wars, Peltier's guilt or innocence is irrelevant.

Simple justice and compassion dictate he should be freed.

Recently, a new generation of Peltier defenders have emerged - one of whom - Kathi Robinson in Manitoba - Peltier has encouraged.

Assistant co-ordinator of the Leonard Peltier defence offence committee is his niece, Kari Ann Boushee, website: www.whoisleonardpeltier.info .

Peltier's eventual release may hinge on clemency from President Barack Obama - presuming Obama has the courage to reject the FBI's continuing thirst to punish a man they helped frame for murder.

Otherwise, Peltier will likely die in custody.

City of Fargo Native American Commission Stands Up for Leonard Peltier

March 11, 2010

From:
City of Fargo
Native American Commission
200 North 3rd Street
Fargo, ND 58102


To:
Eric Holder, Attorney General

Re: U.S. v. L. Peltier, 585 F.2d 314 (8th Cir. 1978)


Dear Attorney General Holder:

The mission of the City of Fargo's Native American Commission is "to work together to strengthen the Native American community in order to promote understanding, recognition and respect for Native American cultures and enrich the whole community."

The City of Fargo, North Dakota's Native American Commission (NAC) has been requested to comment on a request for a review of the case of Leonard Peltier by a community organization. Peltier is a convicted felon, who is also a tribal member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, located on the reservation in Belcourt, North Dakota. The case is titled U.S. v. Peltier, 585 F.2d 314 (8th Cir. 1978).

Upon review of the request and the history of the case, the Native American Commissioners in the City of Fargo would like to request that you review Mr. Peltier's case and suggest or request the case go under review by the appropriate federal authorities, whether it be the Federal Courts or the authorities, and suggest appropriate action to be taken on the case should it warrant a proper re-visiting.

The NAC is comprised of appointed individuals (appointed by the Fargo City Commission) who work or reside in the City of Fargo, North Dakota. Enclosed are the minutes from the January 14, 2010 meeting where the decision to move forward with this request was approved.

Thank you for your response to this request.

Sincerely,

Statement of Leonard Peltier


Greetings,

I hope this finds you all well, and like the weather, looking towards warmer days and sunnier skies. I am excited about our upcoming art exhibit at the Trickster Art Gallery in Chicago on March 6. This event is called "Art for Haiti" and proceeds will benefit the victims of the recent earthquake there. I've been asked why we would do such a thing while Indian people remain in such a state of need. I need only direct you to history, where our people have always given to others, even when we had little.

There is a shrine in Ireland thanking the Choctaw people of Oklahoma who gave grain and money to those suffering from the potato famine in the late 1840's. These Indians had just recently suffered all manner of brutality and suffering during their own removal on the Trail of Tears, and yet they still sought to help others in need around the world. No matter our own station, we should always keep open hearts and be willing to do what we can for others who suffer. It is part of what makes us who we are. And bear in mind our own campaigns to feed and clothe the needy in Indian communities have been in place for years, and they continue as well.

I want to take a moment and mention that one of our greatest warriors, Wilma Mankiller, of the Oklahoma Cherokee, is very ill. This magnificent woman has fought for Indian rights every since she took part in the takeover of Alcatraz in 1969. Please include her in your thoughts and prayers.

As always, I am thankful to all of you who continue to keep my case in the public eye, and campaign for my eventual freedom. Your efforts are not in vain I promise you. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to speaking with you all again.

In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,

Leonard Peltier

Call to Action:
UN Universal Periodic Review to assess U.S. compliance with human rights obligations


The United States is a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) and will be reviewed for the first time this year by the HRC's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process in November 2010. Under the UPR all 192 UN member States (countries) are reviewed every 4 years to assess compliance with their obligations to respect and implement human rights for all. The review is based on each
country's national report as well as independent submissions from "civil society stakeholders", including Indigenous Peoples.

The Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee is participating in the national report in a number of different ways, but we can't be in all places at one time. Therefore, we're asking supporters to attend the U.S. State Department's "listening sessions" around the country and speak up on Leonard's behalf. While five sessions have already occurred, there are still five locations where sessions will occur during the next several weeks. These are unique opportunities to bring attention to Leonard's case and the human rights violations to which he has been subjected by the U.S. government.


Session Schedule

• El Paso, TX, on March 8-9; Location: Camino Real Hotel

• Birmingham, AL, on March 11-12, Location: Miles College

• New Mexico, on March 16 and 17; Locations: UNM Law School (16th); Window Rock, Navajo Nation (17th). The NM sessions have been planned specifically for Indigenous Peoples and Nations, to receive input for its national report. Focus themes for the Albuquerque session will include Sovereignty and Self Determination, Nation to Nation Relations, Lands, Territories and Natural Resources, Treaty Rights and Sacred Sites among others.

• Chicago, IL, Date TBC, Location: TBC

• San Francisco, CA, on March 25-26, Location TBC (USF Law School and/or Boalt Hall, UC Berkeley)


Although these cities have been confirmed, in some cases the meeting sites and/or local contact organizations are still being worked out with the onsite hosts and Coordinating Committees. The best contact at this time for specific information about the rest of these listening sessions and who you can contact for more information about participation is Sarah Paoletti, Senior Coordinator for the US Human Rights Network UPR Project. She can be reached paoletti@law.upenn.edu . You can also contact Laura Baum, USHRN Staff Coordinator at lbaum@ushrnetwork.org.


A word from Leonard: He's pleased that supporters are stepping up to speak on his behalf this way. He thanks you and asks only that you do your homework. It's imperative that you relay complete and accurate information.

If you need assistance with preparing your statement for a session, contact us. We'll be happy to brainstorm with you. Otherwise, we recommend that you use "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse" by Peter Matthiessen as your source material.

Subject: Help protect beluga whales from extinction

 
Fewer than 400 still survive
 



Dear --,

Industry giants are pressuring the Obama Administration to abandon endangered beluga whales in Cook Inlet, Alaska. We need your urgent action to help protect these rare whales from extinction.

Please tell the National Marine Fisheries Service to finalize its proposal to designate an area of more than 3,000 square miles as critical habitat for Cook Inlet beluga whales.

Cook Inlet belugas live in one of the most populated and industrialized regions in Alaska. Their health and habitat is continuously threatened by the devastating effects of development and pollution.

In fact, this genetically distinct population of beluga whales has plummeted in number from 1,300 in the 1980s to fewer than 400 today.

Following years of advocacy by NRDC and others, the National Marine Fisheries Service proposed designated critical habitat for Cook Inlet beluga whales under the Endangered Species Act this past December.

Without these habitat protections, which are backed by decades of scientific research and data, Cook Inlet beluga whales could be wiped out forever.

Yet powerful industries are falsely claiming that designating critical habitat will hurt local development.

In truth, this designation simply helps ensure that new development projects will move forward with safeguards necessary to protect belugas and their habitat.

Please make your voice heard right now:

Thank you for taking action to protect imperiled beluga whales.

Sincerely,

Shell's Drilling Threatens the Arctic Refuge

A half a century ago, the Eisenhower administration created the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge "for the purpose of preserving unique wildlife, wilderness and recreational values". But reckless oil development continues to endanger the future of this one-of-a-kind natural sanctuary. The Obama administration has given the Shell oil company a preliminary green light to begin exploratory drilling off the coast of the refuge as early as this summer. Government experts have predicted that least one oil spill will occur if Shell proceeds with full-scale production. Apart from killing polar bears and their cubs on their main birthing ground, the oil could also suffocate or poison whales, including endangered bowhead and beluga whales.

-> Tell the Obama administration to reject Shell's plan and protect the coastline of the Arctic Refuge from a disastrous oil spill:

Subject: Olympic Sponsor Funds Dirtiest Oil Project On Earth


RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK
 
Ask Royal Bank of Canada to Stop Financing Dirty Tar Sands Oil
 


Dear --,

Are you tired of corporations trying to greenwash their environmental blunders? So are we. This week, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) gets the greenwash-of-the-week award for spending $105 million (USD) to become a lead sponsor of the 2010 Winter Olympics, while simultaneously bankrolling billions of dollars in investments in the dirtiest oil project on Earth - the Alberta tar sands. RBC's efforts to advertise themselves as Canada's most caring corporate citizen through their Olympic sponsorship is incompatible with financing Canada's most polluting industry.

The tar sands oil extraction project is systematically turning vast stretches of the breathtaking Canadian boreal forest into a wasteland the size of Florida, eradicating wildlife habitat and jeopardizing the health of First Nations communities across Alberta. Let's do something about it.

Email RBC's CEO Gordon Nixon and ask him to stop financing dirty tar sands oil and start funding a clean energy future:
http://ga3.org/campaign/RBC_Letter_Gordon_Nixon.


The Facts

* The United States is the single largest purchaser of tar sands oil
* Air and water pollution from tar sands oil contains 11 times more sulfur and nickel and 5 times more lead than conventional oil
* Cancer rates have increased in Indigenous communities downstream from the tar sands by as much as 400 times
* The tar sands are Canada's fastest growing source of global warming pollution

If you think this only impacts Canadians, think again. Tar sands oil, the dirtiest on earth, is coming to the United States. If we allow this massive project to creep across our border, it will lock America into dependence on yet another source of oil, just as our local, homegrown clean energy industry is beginning to thrive.

Tell RBC's CEO to create an environmental policy that respects the rights of all people living in Canada's great boreal forest: http://ga3.org/campaign/RBC_Letter_Gordon_Nixon.

Thanks for helping Royal Bank of Canada make the wisest investment decision possible- funding a sustainable future for Canada.
