I just received this from a free speech activist:
Radio for Peace International is off the air.
The progressive media has lost another important voice that spoke the truth.
According to James Latham, general manager (calling me from his cell phone) at 4 PM today, Wednesday, November 5th, the University for Peace cut the electricity to Radio for Peace International.
After 16 years of broadcasting progressive programming on short wave, the station is shut down. Thousands of listeners who tune in regularly from over 120 countries has lost the only progressive radio outlet, and can no longer get excellent shows like Democracy Now, Free Speech Radio News, Alternative Radio, Counterspin, Making Contact, Radio Nation, New Dimensions, etc.
The staff and volunteers who remain are staying in the station to protect the equipment. Obviously they are in a very sad, emotional state, not knowing what to do, who to turn to.
The University for Peace has claimed international immunity from all laws and law enforcement, since it is a United Nations project, which defeats any attempt to use legal means to stop the University for Peace's action.
If you have not yet written an email to Secretary General Kofi Annan, maybe this is the time to do it, if it isn't too late: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---[Start Commercial]---------------------
