LEONARD PELTIER, indigenous activist and the longest-serving political prisoner in the United States, has tested positive for Covid-19.
Peltier, who is imprisoned at the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex in Florida, is 77 years old and has served more than 46 years for a crime that he and his supporters argue he did not commit.
Peltier suffers from diabetes and an aortic abdominal aneurysm, comorbidities that could become a death sentence for someone with Covid-19.
