On February 6th, between 10.00 and 10.30 AM, on RFJ (Radio Frequence Jura )
French Switzerland http://www.rfj.ch/?page=33
Mannalia will be talking about Leonard' story, his book "Prison writings",
his outstanding vision of the future (education, peace, culture,
environment), his contribution in these areas and his 30 years of unjust
imprisonment. She will explain in what way this concerns us all: "We are
not separate beings, you and I. We are different strands of the same being"
L.P. Everybody knows about Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and their
struggle for justice, their struggle for their people's human rights, their
wisdom and respect for all living beings. We need the world to know about
Leonard Peltier, "a light in the dark", who keeps fighting the same struggle
from behind bars, for his people, for the youth, while being victim of the
most unacceptable injustice, product of greed and ignorance.
"Silence they say is the voice of complicity...silence is a message just as
doing nothing is an act". French speakers can listen to this radio show on February 6th between 10.00 and 10.30 AM here: http://www.rfj.ch/?page=33
