URGENT - TRIAL ON AUGUST 15
Please take action to denounce the trial of South African activists
protesting government policy
Demand the African National Congress, South Africa's ruling party, implement
free water and electricity services to their impoverished people, as was
internationally advertised two years ago! Send an email or fax a letter to
Mayor Masondo, denouncing his treatment and arrest of activists who
protested the failure to address the lack of affordable water and
electricity in April. Their trial begins on August 15.
Controversy over the arrests comes as delegates from more than 100 nations
prepare to meet in Johannesburg later this month for the World Summit for
Sustainable Development (WSSD), a United Nations-sponsored forum. The
summit, which is being held 10 years after the Earth Summit in Rio de
Janeiro, will address major environmental challenges that affect the planet
on a global scale, including water, energy, agriculture, biodiversity and
trade/globalization. It will be held from Aug. 26 to Sept. 4.
