[cma-l] cma-l Digest, Vol 30, Issue 2

Mon Jan 4 16:21:10 GMT 2010

We are sometimes critical of the situation we find ourselves in here in Britain within community radio (mainly funding) but to be in a country that denies the rights of media to report what is taking place is intolerable and despicable to say the very least, so to Sheila's point regarding contacting your local MP, It would at least give some knowledge that we in community radio here in Britain are doing something for our counterparts across the world as much as our own back garden.

> Dear Al,
> I have received awful news from people I have been in contact with in El Salvador, and need to work out how to get the message out to as many community media people as possible. The community radio station is Radio Victoria, in Caba?as, El Salvador, which has been doing some really wonderful community journalism. The community, and the radio station, has been fighting a mining bid by a Canadian company, due to its environmental and social impact. Those opposing the mine have faced violence and threats for their work, particularly local environmental groups and radio journalists. In June, one member of the community was tortured and murdered, and another was almost dragged away from a radio interview by armed men. Since then, things had seemed to settle a bit, but last week I heard that another community activist had been murdered, and journalists had recieved some very clear threats. Then tonight, I received another e-mail from them, that another community leader had be

> I have sent an e-mail to amnesty, and the procurator fiscal, but am trying to work out how else to get the word out. I will send you the full details tomorrow, as I need to put everything together into one e-mail in English, and would really appreciate any ideas you have. It would be great if you could try to spread the word, and put me in contact with anyone else who might be able to do the same.
