-----Original Message----- July 20, 2001 Francesco Scarlata, Consulate General Italian Consulate Cons. Gen. 136 Beverly Street Toronto, Ontario M5T 1Y5 Dear Mr. Scarlata, It was with dismay that I heard of the
killing of a protester in Genoa, Italy. The protester was, it is my
understanding, shot in the head. I must protest, in the most strongest
terms, the use of what can best be described as extra-judicial executions to deal with
expressions of dissent. If there are allegations of illegal
activities at a protest, the proper method to deal with such
allegations are through arrests and a fair and impartial trial of those
accused of criminal activities. It is never appropriate
to use deadly force to deal with those willing to speak out. I look forward to reading of charges
being laid against the officer responsible for the death of the protester. Any other
response is a public acceptance of the use of murder as a political tool. Sincerely, (Rev.) Brian Burch To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
