---------- From: BENJAMIN RAMOS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The ProLibertad Freedom Campaign is calling on all our allies in the struggle to free the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War to come out on Wednesday May 23rd at 5:30pm to help protest the Navy Leagues's Fleet Week Kick off Reception. This upcoming Wednesday, May 23rd, the Navy League will be sponsoring a reception for the Flag Officers, Fleet Officials and Department of Defense Officers coming to New York City for the beginning of Fleet Week. Seventeen ships will also be docking on New York Harbor throughout the week. Our Unifying factor in this struggle is colonialism. Since the invasion of Puerto Rico by the United States in 1898, colonialism has been the cause of Puerto Rico's militarization and the incarceration of anti-colonial freedom fighters. We must denounce the U.S. Navy's attempts to play themselves off as a benevolent organization. When in fact, they are a key player in the United States' imperialist agenda. It is also important to recognize that the Navy is directly responsible for arresting our new political prisoners!! At this moment, Ismael Guadalupe of the Committee for the Rescue and Development of Vieques is serving out a 30 day sentence for his civil disobedience actions on the restricted bombing range. Nearly 3 weeks ago, Ismael and 100s of other anti-navy activists entered the bombing range to act as human shields against the Navy's bombardment. Join us in our proud tradition of resistance!! Join the struggle to remove the U.S. Navy out of Vieques!! Free the Puerto Rican Political Prisoners-Faltan 6!! Free Ismael Gudalupe and the other comrades!! Wednesday May 23rd at 5:30pm New York Athletic Cub 180 Central Park South 59th St. and 7th Avenue For more info. contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and make sure to visit our 'site www.ProLibertad.org _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
