Today, March 21, 1997 Leonard Peltier lost the use of the telephone for sixty days. Prison officials have decided that during a recent telephone conversation between Leonard and actor/rap singer Litefoot a business transaction was made.

This is completely false!

The conversation dealt with Litefoot's offer to design a new t-shirt for the LPDC and where he would have the shirt manufactured. At no point did Leonard request money from the shirt and at no point did either of them conduct a business deal. Litefoot simply asked for an opinion which is entirely legal! The LPDC and CHS, Inc., specifically state in their by-laws that absolutely no business deals are ever made with Leonard. It is impossible for him to conduct any business.

Isolation from the phone means isolation from friends, family and the LPDC. Anything could happen and it could take days before we would learn of it! This becomes especially important as Leonard has been threatened by two guards employed by the U.S. penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas!

Please voice your concern and outrage by calling Warden True at 913-682-8700, and report this outrageous conduct to the Bureau of Prisons at 202-307-3198.
