Freedom for #LeonardPeltier, Arrest of #BuddhistMonks and #Amazon Lead Issues at U.N. Permanent Forum on #Indigenous Issues

- "The government of Vietnam is hypo-critical of the Declaration on the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples and undermines the self-determination of Indigenous Peoples in the #Mekong Delta of #SouthVietnam"

- "Years ago, when the #Yanomami stood up against the gold miners, and were murdered"

- "#HumanRights defenders are constantly harassed when educating the community about human rights."

NEW YORK -- "'Leonard Peltier should come home and be with his great grandson and teach him songs, and what he has left of his life should be spent at home,' Nathan Phillips, Omaha, Deer Clan, told the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York on Monday, as the second week of the session began.

"'Leonard Peltier stood up for the people,' Phillips said, and asked the UN Permanent Forum to write a letter to Coleman Prison and ask for a compassionate release for Peltier. Phillips said Peltier is sick and 79 years old, and has spent more than 40 years in prison.

"'They really don't know who committed the crime that he's in there for, and now his eyesight is really bad. He might die in there, and that would be death by incarceration,' Phillips said.

"'The FBI admitted that they didn't know who did that, so they should let him go,' he said, adding 'the FBIs didn't have no business up there."
