American Indian Movement activist Leonard Peltier won't be getting out of prison for the murders of two FBI agents.

The U.S. Parole Commission rejected Peltier's request for parole. He won't be eligible again until 2024, when he will be 79 years old, the Associated Press reported.

Peltier has denied guilt for the 1975 murders on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. He is serving two life sentences.
