"I fear that John Boy will not receive a fair trial in the US anymore than I did. I must remind you, it is court record that the FBI lied to extradite me back to the US."    - Leonard Peltier |
 John Graham |
John Graham was arrested in Vancouver in early December, 2003 on an American indictment and is now living under house arrest, awaiting an extradition hearing. He is a 48-year old Canadian native man from Whitehorse, Yukon Territories. Among other things, he is a father to eight, pipe layer, community organizer and AIM activist. In 1975 he was in the region when the FBI instigated a shoot-out at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. |
| John is charged with the murder of Anna Mae Aquash, who was a friend and comrade of his in the American Indian Movement. He has repeatedly stated that he is not guilty of this crime. We believe that the charges against him have been manufactured by the FBI - aas part of their ongoing war against AIM and against self determination for Indigenous people |  John and his mom |
"My greatest fear is that the U.S. will use the same kind of flimsy and trumped-up evidence that they used against Leonard Peltier to justify the extradition of John Graham, a Canadian citizen, to the U.S." - Amnesty International member Bob Newbrook, a retired police officer who arrested Peltier in Alberta in 1976 (VANCOUVER PROVINCE, DECEMBER 5, 2003) more |
