[HCDX] Power cut on rfpi

[Leigh Hauter <lh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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:  annan@xxxxxx
