Dear Peltier supporters,

We just got the message from BOP (below). It looks like Leonard is being transferred to Rochester (where the Mayo Clinic is located!!!!) We did not expect to be told where he would be transferred, but we were. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY QUICK RESPONSES. Until further notice we will discontinue calls to the BOP and Leavenworth as requested by Scott Wolfson below. We will keep you informed of any developments. We still need to keep an eye on him in Rochester. Thanks again,

Solidarity,
LPDC

Statement Concerning Inmate Leonard Peltier

This morning, Bureau of Prisons staff escorted inmate Leonard Peltier, 89637-132, from the United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, to the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota. This transfer is a temporary designation.

Inmate Peltier is not in a life-threatening condition.

We will provide the Defense Committee with additional information as it becomes available tomorrow.

We ask that you not call the Central Office, USP Leavenworth, or FMC Rochester, as the Public Affairs office for the BOP will continue to work closely with the LPDC.

Thank you for your cooperation,
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Office of Public Affairs
