Thought this might be of interest to the List:

The students in Yugoslavia are protesting Milosevic's government and are
extremely active on the Net.

They seek
-Free and fair elections in Serbia
-Free Universities
-Independent media

There's an excellent student resistance site at http://otpor.com that describes
some of their work. And
http://www.nettime.org/nettime.w3archive/200003/msg00032.html is an interesting
AP article describing the student resistance and the 'poster war' happening
there. See also http://www.otpor.com/marketing/index.html for some of the
posters and other images they have developed.

They are being astute with the image. Their image of THE FIST is very
inspiring.

Here we have an opportunity to support their important work rather than bomb
them.

http://www.vispo.com/TheFist/1.htm leads to a page containing THE FIST in
various file formats suitable for putting on your Web site in support of the
student resistance, if you like.  There's also a CorelDraw and a couple of
Adobe
Illustrator files (PC and Mac)  that can be used to make much larger
versions of
THE FIST for things like T shirts.

Feel free to use them as you please and help in your own way; that is what I
read on the otpor.com site, which seems like a very cool way to go. Supporting
them via the Internet on which they are very active, this seems an important
part of the so-called 'information revolution,' and much more helpful to all
concerned than bombs.
