Protest

In downtown Reno, demonstators called attention to the case of imprisoned American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier, convicted in 1977 of the 1975 murder of two FBI agents on the Pine River Reservation in South Dakota. His supporters describe him as a political prisoner, and Amnesty International has raised questions about his conviction.
