Free Leonard Peltier

Free Leonard Peltier
The government under pretext of security and progress, liberated us from our land, resources, culture, dignity and future. They violated every treaty they ever made with us. I use the word “liberated” loosely and sarcastically, in the same vein that I view the use of the words “collateral damage” when they kill innocent men, women and children. They describe people defending their homelands as terrorists, savages and hostiles . . . My words reach out to the non-Indian: Look now before it is too late—see what is being done to others in your name and see what destruction you sanction when you say nothing. --Leonard Peltier, Annual Message January 2004 (Leonard Peltier is now serving 31st year as an internationally recognized Political Prisoner of the United States Government)

Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'



Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'

The current 'Miss Universe' Dayana Mendoza (formerly Miss Venezuela) and 'Miss America' Crystal Stewart visited US troops stationed in Guantanamo Bay on March 20th, the New York Times reports. Here's Mendoza's account of the visit from her pageant blog last Friday. She says the trip "was a loooot of fun!"

This week, Guantánamo!!! It was an incredible experience...All the guys from the Army were amazing with us. We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting. We took a ride with the Marines around the land to see the division of Gitmo and Cuba while they were informed us with a little bit of history.


The water in Guantánamo Bay is soooo beautiful! It was unbelievable, we were able to enjoy it for at least an hour. We went to the glass beach, and realized the name of it comes from the little pieces of broken glass from hundred of years ago. It is pretty to see all the colors shining with the sun. That day we met a beautiful lady named Rebeca who does wonders with the glasses from the beach. She creates jewelry with it and of course I bought a necklace from her that will remind me of Guantánamo Bay :)

I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful.

Mohammed OmerMOHAMMED OMER

"The Voice of the Voiceless"
Award-Winning Journalist from the Gaza Strip

Mohammed Omer, 25, was born and raised in the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip. A correspondent for the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, he has had articles and photographs featured in publications around the world.

In 2008, he became the youngest journalist ever to be awarded the Martha Gelhorn Prize for Journalism. He was honored as "the voice of the voiceless" whose reporting constituted a "humane record of the injustice imposed on a community forgotten by much of the world." As he was traveling back to the Gaza Strip from the award ceremony in London, he was beaten and humiliated by Israeli soldiers at the Allenby Bridge border crossing. His treatment precipitated an international outcry. Click here for Omer's resume.

Omer will speak about daily life under the crippling siege of Gaza. He'll describe his interviews with fishermen, farmers, students, journalists, mothers and fathers trying to survive.  As another winter approaches, Omer will discuss how Gazans are coping without electricity, water, fuel, sewage treatment, and adequate health care or building materials.
