Emne: Newsflash: Elian and his father returns to Cuba
News from http://www.netactivist.dk
Elian Gonzalez, his family and friends have arrived at Dulles International
Airport in Virginia, where chartered planes wait to return them to Cuba.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday decisively ended a seven-month custody
battle over the 6-year-old Cuban boy.
The ruling meant that Elian and his immediate family would be free to leave
for Cuba after 4 p.m. Wednesday when a previous injunction expires.

And to all you who send protest emails for the return of Elian - You've

PROTEST AGAINST US-NAVY BOMBING IN VIEQUES!!!
http://www.netactivist.dk
Two groups enter into Navy´s restricted zone
A group of around twenty protestors penetrated early in the morning, the US
Navy´s bombing range on Vieques, where they will serve as human shields to
block the resumption of bombing on the island. The group is guided by a
Viequense with much experience in the resistence against the US Navy
presence and activities on the island municipality.
The group consists of members of the Committee for the Rescue and
Development of Vieques and individuals from the main island of Puerto Rico,
from all sectors of civilian society who have joined the cause of Peace for
Vieques.
The group entered the bombing range through an area of thick and thorny
vegetation to avoid being detected. The are prepared with water and other
supplies to remain in the restricted zone for as long as possible.
The members of the group will disperse throughout the bombing range to
create a more serious obstacle for bombing and to make arrests more
difficult.
Simultaneously, fifty representatives of the Pro Vieques Movement - labor,
cooperativist and religious leaders - entered the bombing zone with a group
of Vieques fishermen, under the direction of Carlos Ventura. This group
avoided military security all night and finally walked into the area of
targets where they carried out a series of ecumenical ceremonies dedicated
to Peace for Vieques.
The purpose of this action was to dramatize the serious health concerns for
the people of Vieques in the face of Navy announcements they will fire
thousands of bombs on the East end of the island in the next few days.
Ventura as well as labor leader Wilfredo López, explained by radio from the
bombing area, that the struggle to end the military presence will continue
until there is peace in Vieques.
These two groups bring to around 200 the number of those arrested for
entering into the Navy´s restriced area since the removal and arrest of
over 200 people from 15 civil disobedience camps here on the 4th of May.
