(Photo by Tony Wu) On the 45 year anniversary of being awarded his Nobel Peace Prize, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was interrupted four times and told to “rot in hell” by protestors on Tuesday evening during a talk <http://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/news-events/nyu-stern-s-conversation-with-lord-mervyn-king-series-presents-dr-henry-kissinger> at NYU’s Stern School of Business. Kissinger has often been called a war criminal for his role <https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/10/henry-kissinger-history-legacy-213237> in the bombing of Cambodia and North Vietnam and the overthrow of democratically-elected Chilean president Salvador Allende, among other things. Once it was made public that he would be a guest at the Stern speaker series, “In Conversation with Lord Mervyn King,” over a dozen student groups organized a protest <https://www.facebook.com/events/2255673647838955/>against him titled “No War Criminals at NYU” and wrote a letter <https://docs.google.com/document/d/15d_fep1rkTmFxTorG9Yq990vITh0P21G_BI57uz0p4o/edit?usp=sharing> calling on the university to cancel the event. Around 100 people gathered at Gould Plaza with a heavy police presence nearby. With their voices amplified by megaphones, they yelled “Hey, Kissinger, what do you say? How many kids have you killed today?” Holding signs bearing messages like “Prosecute Kissinger,” they hurled other insults at the former diplomat, now 95 years old, throughout the duration of the event, from 5 p.m. to its close at approximately 7 p.m. *snip>* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to Mark Crispin Miller's "News From Underground" newsgroup.
