12.10.12

2012 Gerald and Maas Suppressed News September 27, 2012       U.S.: the courageous attorney Lynne Stewart, currently serving an arbitrary ten year sentence for feistiness (previous), was denied her appeal of sentence (United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Docket Number: 10-3185, Sept. 24, 2012). Efforts to take the appeal to the Supreme Court are underway. Gerald and Maas encourages support for her Defense Committee [access:< http://lynnestewart.org/ >]. Attorney Stewart is 72 years old fighting serious illness. The length of sentence has some parallel to a death sentence, knowingly imposed by the judges. See also Honduras, below.


      Honduras: "Lo mataron por defender los derechos de los más desposeídos" - (Trucchi, FNRP). State sanctioned operation of the far right continues with the murder of Antonio Trejo, attorney for campesinos in their struggle to retain their lands in the Aguan Valley, despite the opposition of powerful landholders. The campesinos won a substantial court victory on June 29th in a region where Trejo is the most recent of 80 murdered. With a history of threats from the powerful he was killed by assassins on leaving a church September 22nd. His recent efforts include a constitutional challenge to the Charter Cities project which opens municipalities to international investment and control. Attorney Tejo's assassination follows the murder near Tegucigalpa in May of journalist and LGBT (a targeted community) activist, Erick Martinez, the assassination of Mahadeo Roopchand Sadloo in September 2011 (previous), and many others.     Partial sources online: "Honduras planeja ceder novas cidades a estrangeiros ," Vitor Paolozzi, Sept. 22, 2012, Fente Nacional de Resistencia Popular; "About the assassination of the compañero Antonio Trejo," Gerardo Torres Zelaya, Sept. 25, 2012, FNRP; "Asesinan a abogado de campesinos del Aguán," Giorgio Trucchi, Sept. 24, 2012 FNRP; "Killers of Antonio Trejo Should Be Brought to Justice," Sept. 24, 2012, Human Rights Watch; "Missing Honduran journalist Erick Martinez found dead," May 8, 2012, BBC News.

      France: A warning of cultural extremism evident in France's banning of the full face veil, progresses with the National Party's Marine Le Pen calling for a ban of Muslim face veils and Jewish kipahs in public.
