American University will remove a statue of a man convicted of killing two FBI agents in 1975 from outside Katzen Arts Center, the school said in a statement issued Sunday.
FBI Agents Association President Thomas O’Connor sent a letter to AU President Dr. Neil Kerwin Thursday stating concern about the statue of Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist convicted in the killings of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ron Williams on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Clemency activists installed the 9-foot-tall statue in December. They want President Barack Obama to pardon Peltier, whose supporters accuse prosecutors of coercing witness statements and withholding evidence favorable to Peltier, the Washington Times reported.
