Leonard is Fine
We have gotten word that Leonard has been examined by a doctor and has not had a heart attack. The symptoms that had so frightened his niece during her visit may have been caused by stress.
Leonard appreciates the phone calls, emails, and faxes to prison officials on behalf of his health needs.
Ultimately, Leonard's health would best be served by release from prison, or, alternatively, transfer to a prison closer to his home and family. His supporters will continue working toward these ends. For information on how you can help, go to http://www.leonardpeltier.net/ .

I've been asked to correct two misstatements in this article:
Leonard Peltier was not beaten at Lewisburg Prison. The beating occured at Canan Prison.
At the time this article was written, Leonard was in a hospital, undergoing tests, but results were not yet known. According to the information I had at the time, provided by an unnamed "friend," it had been determined that Leonard at least had not had a heart attack. But his family and their spokesperson were skeptical about this source, as they were unable to confirm the information.
Since that time, however, Leonard has passed a treadmill test-- a very good sign. And all are now certain that he did not have a heart attack.
The spokesperson for Leonard's family explained to me that, though it is important and appreciated for people to express to prison officials their concern for Leonard's health and wellbeing, it is also important to be scrupulously accurate in the information included. I can imagine the problem that might be created if, even politely, a letter to the warden at Lewisburg makes the misstatement that Leonard's beating occured there. This would amount to a false accusation--it would not help Leonard and might even make things worse for him.
The mistakes in the original article were my own. Sorry for any probem caused.
