[Ppnews] Peltier Update: Medical Treatment

[Political Prisoner News]

The biopsy that was ordered by a physician last November was finally 
performed yesterday, 23 February.  Leonard will receive the results 
in roughly 7 to 10 days.  The feedback from the physician wasn't 
positive, however.  Everyone must continue to pressure the BOP for 
Leonard's transfer so that he can receive timely, quality care.

Please sign the below letter; write your name and mailing address;

U.S. Bureau of Prisons

Washington, DC 20534

Dear Mr. Lappin:

It has come to my attention that Leonard Peltier #89637-132, an 
inmate at the U.S. Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, is in 
dire need of medical attention.

I believe that Mr. Peltier's medical needs are urgent. He needs to be 
seen by proper medical staff. Therefore, I respectfully request that 
Leonard Peltier be transferred to FCI-Oxford in Wisconsin or 
FMC-Rochester in Minnesota. Either of these facilities can adequately 
accommodate Mr. Peltier's medical needs.

Thank you in advance for transferring Leonard Peltier and immediately 
addressing his medical needs!

Sincerely,



Signature
