URGENT UPDATE--November 5th, 1996

Harassment continues! Leonard Peltier, still suffering from unsuccessful surgery on his jaw performed months ago, has been assigned a job outside of his "light duty" health requirements.

Leonard was transferred back to USP Leavenworth from the Medical Center at Springfield, MO where he refused additional medical treatment. Examining doctors at the facility had differing opinions regarding the problem with the jaw and which treatment would be best. Also, Leonard never received a copy of his medical records and therefore could not use the information within this document to formulate an educated decision as to which treatment would best suit his needs.

Peltier filed a FOIA request in an attempt to secure his medical file but has not received them to this date. He continues to fight for this important information.

Leonard continues to suffer severe soreness in his jaw, swelling along the side of his face, and watery eyes. These symptoms make his new job assignment extremely difficult. Leonard NEEDS access to his medical records and he NEEDS to be reassigned to a light duty job.

Leonard's safety depends on YOU! Please help protect him!
