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.
