Seeds Of Hope

The three women who smashed up the Hawk back in January, along with one other woman who is charged with conspiracy, are still being held on remand. A video they produced has been used in court and included scenes from the Dili massacre and is rounded off with a plea from an East Timorese woman “please stop your commercial relations with Indonesia if you are really human” after which the courtroom remained in stunned silence. A ten minute adjournment was then announced by the magistrates. It was supposed to have been used as evidence for the prosecution but it seems as though it may have backfired. Please write letters of support to the women c/o Seeds of Hope-East Timor Ploughshares, Box S, 55 Queen Margaret’s Grove, London N1 4PZ or call 0171 923 9511 for any info.
