In a significant act on his last day in office, President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist convicted of killing two FBI agents in 1975. Despite Peltier's claims of innocence and longstanding advocacy for clemency citing unfair trial conditions, South Dakota Attorney General condemned the decision. Peltier, suffering from serious health issues, will serve his remaining time in home confinement. His case remains a focal point for discussions on systemic injustices faced by Indigenous peoples. This decision has been hailed by human rights advocates as a necessary step towards justice.
