Court Hearing and Rally on December 7, 2006-New York

To: Leonard Peltier Supporters
From: Leonard Peltier Defense Committee
Subject: Court hearing on December 7, 2006
Location: 500 Pearl Street, 9th Floor, Ceremonial Courtroom, Manhattan.

On December 7, 2006 at 10:00 a.m., Michael Kuzma, Esq, will be arguing before Honorable Judges Amalya L. Kearse, Chester J. Straub, and Joseph M. McLaughlin of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for the full release of all documents maintained by the Buffalo field office of the FBI relating to Leonard Peltier and RESMURS. As a result of this lawsuit, and a similar case brought against the FBI in Minnesota under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), we have learned that the FBI actually possesses 142,579 pages of material pertaining to Leonard Peltier and RESMURS. Although these documents are over 30 years old, the Government continues to block release of this information on the basis that disclosure would, among other things, hamper the "war on transnational terrorism" and reveal the identities of confidential sources.
Come out on December 7, 2006 to show your solidarity and support in our struggle to pry loose these secret FBI files and, in the process, come one step closer to liberating Leonard from federal prison!

The Hearing is open to the public:
Address: 500 Pearl Street, 9th Floor, Ceremonial Courtroom, Manhattan, New York
