NOVEMBER 22, 2000 Clyde Bellecourt, co-founder of the American Indian Movement, asked Nelson Mandela on Tuesday to urge President Bill Clinton to grant Leonard Peltier clemency. Bellecourt made his request during a ceremony being held for the former South African President in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the past, Mandela has pledged his support for Peltier. Clinton said he will make a decision on whether or not to let Peltier, convicted of killing two FBI agents in 1975, go free. Get the Story:
