--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector-April 21, 2004 Please Distribute Widely Dear Colleague, The latest effort to silence news from Zapatista lands about the "low intensity war" against the indigenous of Chiapas uses another tactic from the US-imposed "war on drugs." Hermann Bellinghausen, reporter for the Mexican national daily La Jornada, reports that, in the midst of other acts of intimidation and harrassment against him, somebody planted poppies - the plant from which opium, morphine, and heroin are extracted - in his garden. Readers in the United States - where it's not illegal to grow poppies, also an ornamental flower - may find it surprising to learn that, in Mexico, the mere existence of the plant on your terrain can end you up in prison... or worse. As background, we bring you the testimony of Chiapas indigenous leader Rafael Lopez Santiz Conseta who spent five years in prison, including brutal tortures, precisely for that reason. We also tell a little bit more about the humble poppy plant, over which futile "drug wars" have been fought for centuries... and explain the inherent threat to free speech and press freedom created by prohibitionist drug laws... http://www.narconews.com/ Finally, we add our voices to the many around the world who clamor to defend colleague Hermann Bellinghausen's press freedom. >From somewhere in a country called América, Al Giordano Publisher, Narco News President, The School of Authentic Journalism http://www.narconews.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] For an application for one of the 37 scholarships to the Narco News School of Authentic Journalism, July 30 to August 8, in Cochabamba and the Chapare, Bolivia, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Narco News is supported by: The Fund for Authentic Journalism P.O.
