Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques P.O. Box 1424 Vieques, Puerto Rico 00765 Telefax 787 741-0716 E mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 13 JUNE, 2001 Report from Peace and Justice Camp Last night we heard military aircraft for the first time since the April maneuvers. Around 11PM jets were heard in the skies over Vieques. At 6PM, aprox. 200 Puerto Rico policemen and women arrived at the gate to the navy base here Camp Garca in front of the Peace and Justice Camp (PJC). They marched in formation, creating a line of police until the Luisa Guadalupeabout mile South on the road that runs parallel to the Navys perimeter fence. Police officials indicated they are present to protect the Navy fence from protesters who in April cut down large sections. Those present at the PJC manifested their indignation at this exaggerated police presence and the use of PR police as security guards for the Navy. Today, June 13th. The calm before the storm. Police agents watch over the Navy fence from the civilian sector highway while a growing number of military personnel, prepared with riot gear helmets, gas masks, shields, etc. "protect" the perimeter from the other side of the fence. >From 9AM today and at any moment during the next 24 hours you can participate in the virtual sit-in pro Vieques: http://www.freespeech.org/provieques Tonight we will hold an ecumenical service at the PJC. Religious leaders and members of the community will meet to reflect and prepare spiritually to confront the next 18 days of navy exercises, violenca and provocation Todava la Marina no ha colocado el aviso a los pescadores sobre zonas de peligro y de restriciones en la zona este, indicio del bombardeo que se tiene que proveer a los pescadores con 48 horas de anticipacin del bombardeo. The Navy has not yet posted the warning to fishermen about danger and restricted zones on the east end of the island, warning that must be given 48 hours before bombing begins. The Governor, Sila Mara Caldern is arriving on Vieques as we finish this report. We have requested a meeting at the PJC to discuss the situation and denounce the use of PR police against our protest. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your use of Yahoo!
