 Federal Prison in Pennsylvania.\n \nWhen: Friday, January 23, 11 am - 1 
 pm\nWhere: New San Francisco Federal Building, 7th & Mission Sts.\n 
 \nSponsored by: American Indian Movement West\nEndorsed by: A.N.S.W.E.R. 
 Coalition - Act Now to Stop War & End Racism\n \nFollowing are excerpts 
 from a letter received on January 21 from Betty Peltier-Solano, Executive 
 Coordinator of the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee:\n \n"I am so 
 OUTRAGED!  My brother Leonard was severely beaten upon his arrival at the 
 Canaan Federal Penitentiary.  When he went into population after his 
 transfer, some inmates assaulted him.  The severity of his injuries is that 
 he suffered numerous blows to his head and body, receiving a large bump on 
 his head, possibly a concussion, and numerous bruises.  Also, one of his 
 fingers is swollen and discolored and he has pain in his chest and ribcage. 
  There was blood everywhere from his injuries.  \n\n"We feel that prison 
 authorities at the prompting of the FBI orchestrated this attack and thus, 
 we are greatly concerned about his safety.  It may be that the attackers, 
 whom Leonard did not even know, were offered reduced sentences for carrying 
 out this heinous assault.  Since Leonard is up for parole soon, this could 
 be a conspiracy to discredit a model prisoner."\nTo read the entire letter 
 and for contact information to call and write Canaan Prison and other 
 federal authorities, go to:  http://www.aimwest.info/\n \n \n
