FREE JOHN GRAHAM, CANADIAN INDIGENOUS PERSON
NO EXTRADITION TO THE USA

Would you please do all you can to sign the petition or write a letter and circulate the material about John Graham. He is a Canadian First Nations Person who is going to be extradited from Canada to the USA by the FBI to face a trumped up murder charge relating to the incidents at the Pine Ridge Reserve in South Dakota in the early and mid 1970s. It is an attack on the American Indian Movement, but John Graham is their latest target. He is being called Leonard Peltier II. He is accused of having murdered his friend, co-Canadian activist Anna Mae Aquash. She told John that the FBI had threatened to murder her just before they did. John had dropped her off at a safe house following the threat and then that was the last that anyone saw of her until she turned up on the edge of the reserve with a bullet through her head. The autopsy that the FBI did said she had died of exposure so the First Nations People insisted on a second autopsy and it showed the bullet.
