Got this from the station today:
Hello, thanks for your email. Please keep listening to the radio and watching the web site, we will update as and when we are able. Please help us by distributing this press release as widely as possible. Many thanks, Naomi, RFPI staff For Immediate Release: Radio For Peace International Holds Press Conference Against Censorship For More Information Contact: RFPI at email: James Latham, General Manager, RFPI: 011 (506) 249-1821 Naomi Fowler, Program Director, RFPI: 011 (506) 249-1821 Emily Morales, Operations, RFPI: 011 (506) 249-1821 On Saturday, July 26, 2003, Radio for Peace International in El Rodeo Costa Rica will hold a press conference at 9:30am outside the locked gates of Radio For Peace International. General Manager James Latham and ex- president Rodrigo Carazo will give speeches about the importance of Freedom of the Press in regards to the recent eviction notice issued to RFPI by the University for Peace. Radio For Peace International staff will answer questions from the press following the speeches. On Monday, July 21, 2003 a University for Peace representative delivered an eviction notice to Radio For Peace International (RFPI) which has been operating since 1987 by mutual agreement on the University campus in El Rodeo, Costa Rica. The Radio station's access gate was locked with chains and patrolled by armed guards employed by the University for Peace. In addition, the radio station was advised to vacate its facilities in two weeks. According to General Manager James Latham, the unexplained and legally questionable decision to evict RFPI endangers the livelihood of the station' s employees, and also threatens to silence the voice of peace on international airwaves. "This is more than an eviction, this is about the right to free speech, " says James Latham, Chief Executive Officer of Radio for Peace International. "What is most shocking and sad is that this action comes from an international peace organization." Radio For Peace employees made a plea to the armed guards to allow them to leave the locked premises on Monday night, although some have not left the premises since the eviction notice. University for Peace cofounder, former Costa Rican President Rodrigo Carazo Odio, invited RFPI in 1985 to build and manage its own office and studios on the university's Costa Rica campus. Consequently RFPI constructed studios and transmitters, and has been broadcasting messages of peace and social justice as well as daily United Nations programming. RFPI is the only listener supported shortwave radio station. |

"Telamon" wrote in message ... In article , This situation certainly does not look good for RFPI. I don¹t understand their argument about free speech being a reason for them to stay. The problem is property usage. They are there under a lease agreement with the University of Costa Rica and the current administration wants that lease to end. They will have to go. -- Telamon Ventura, California It's even more than free speech. It's war! Peace organizations at war!! As James Latham puts it: "Instead of focusing on how to eliminate a fellow peace organization, we need to channel our energy toward eliminating war, poverty and hunger." What terrors might the University for Peace commit after RFPI is eliminated? I won't know until Noam Chomsky's next endless lecture. Frank Dresser |
