Subject: Ndn activist murdered ## Nachricht vom 22.01.03 weitergeleitet ## Ursprung : /lists/ndn-aim Ndn activist Robert Standing Deer Wilson was stabbed in his Houston appartment late Monday early Tuesday. He was 70 years of age. Standing Deer had been hired for an attempt at the life of Leonard Peltier in prison but made this public. This had no positive effects for Standing Deer who finally got transfered to a Texas jail where he more or less routinely was denied necessary medication and/or medical attention. After massive intervention, Standing Deer was released from jail for medical reasons in 2001. After getting free, Standing Deer joined the Leonard Peltier Defense Comitee and recently also joined their board of directors; during the last year, he helped organize several events for getting Leonard Peltier free. Houston Police does not release further info except that Standing Deer was found in his appartment and had been stabbed several times, the door to his apparment was said to have been forced open and there were traces of a fight, but nothing was stolen. Activists believe this to be a political assassination. The Web Site of Standing Deer: Freedom Now! http://www.geocities.com/standingdeer1/index.htm ## CrossPoint v3.12d ##
