Dear Commissioners,

As a European citizen interested in defending and promoting Human Rights universally, I am writing to express my full support for parole to Mr. Leonard Peltier. Mr Peltier is a Native American leader who has now been incarcerated for some 24 years. His case is well known in Europe where the European Parliament adopted two resolutions asking for his freedom. Mr. Peltier has served for longer than most pirsonners convicted of similar crimes, and his conduct in prison has been excellent. I would honored to receive him as a guest in my own home when he is released.

I am particularly impressed with the many good deeds Mr. Peltier has carried out during his many years behind bars. He has worked with medical experts to improve health care delivery on the reservations, ansd has helped to establish an entrepreneur program for talented Native youth. He has been instrumental in seetting up a Native American scholarship program at New York University, and helped start up a Native American Newspaper in Washington State. He has sponsored two children in rural El Savlvador and Guatemala, and runs annual clothing and toy drives for the people of Pine Ridge Reservation, half way houses, and women's centers. He has also played a key role in asssisting other prisonners display their art work across the country, in order to promote prisonner art programms and increase prisoner self confidence and esteem. This man has proven himself to be a compassionate human being and a true leader.

I am especially concerned with Mr. Peltier deterioring health. He is now 55 years old, and suffers from a heart condition as well as diabetes. He has lost most of the vision in one eye due to poor medical care. All of these factors should weigh positively for his release through parole,

Sincerely,

                                                                                                                Signature
