THE DR. DHAFIR SUPPORT COMMITTEE REQUESTS YOUR HELP: PLEASE WRITE TO THEÂ POST STANDARD AND ASK IT TO PUBLISH JOHN PILGER’S ARTICLE ABOUT DR. DHAFIR
Below is an email I sent to the paper on November 8th and I’ve had no
response. Please be courteous in your correspondence. And please forward
this request to any lists you think appropriate.
“Dear Janis Barth and Rich Sullivan,
Cc Mike Connor and Stan Linhorst
I’m writing to ask you to republish an article about the case of Dr. Rafil
Dhafir in the Syracuse Post Standard.  The article, “The End of Justice in
America“ is by veteran journalist and documentary filmmaker John Pilger and
was published in today’s New Statesman. John Pilger has very kindly offered
to waive any fee for republishing the article, provided you print it exactly
as it’s printed in the New Statesman. Â The Post Standard’s coverage of this
case has never given the Syracuse public an opportunity to view the case
from any other point of view than the government’s and publishing this
article would be a perfect opportunity to redress some of the balance.
Sincerely,
Katherine Hughes”
