Dear Friends,
I would very much appreciate your passing on to your friends in Taiwan (and anyone else for that matter) this urgent appeal to turn out in a show of international support for what the Wild Strawberries have been able to achieve. This is a straight-up human rights issue, and green/blue issues are banished for the night of Dec 9, when we have some musicians from Japan, Canada, the US and elsewhere coming out to show the Wild Strawberries that theirs is a movement that has the support of the world.
I hope that everyone recognizes that the Taiwan government's human rights roll-back of the last several months has serious implications for all of us in Taiwan, foreigners included, and especially those of us who have made the Taiwan struggle for human rights, freedom and democracy our own. Mr. Ma is quite clearly going by the PRC playbook, so, if we don't rise up and put a stop to it, well, PRC-style repression will not be long in coming. Think of this as Taiwan's answer to the Tienanmen Massacre!
We have a good musical line-up, some speeches, and we will have prepared a world map, without any national borders showing, by which we wish to say that (1) music knows no borders, just as human rights is universal, and (2) in solidarity with Taiwanese, who are being denied the right to decide whether or not they can even have a country, then we will forego our nationalities for the evening.
We wish to give graphic, camera-ready expression to this using a map, and each international guest is invited to come up and give their name, and say where they are from -- without mentioning country. The more places we have represented, the more powerfully we can make the point that the Wild Strawberries enjoy international support.
Several representatives from international human rights organizations will also be present.
Sure hope to see you there. Please pass the word, bring friends and so on.
All this takes place at downtown Taipei's Liberty Square, 5 minutes' walk from the MRT CKS Memorial Hall station.
That's tomorrow night, Dec 9, beginning at 7pm and running until 11.
Thanks much.
Peace. Lynn

Well done guys!!
Your march was well organized, well executed and there was nothing but peace on all sides...
I especially thought the appeals to be quiet as we passed the hospital to be very classy....
I was not "skeptical" about the march, I simply favor vigils because they're harder to interfere with, but you all did a great job!!
I look forward to thanking you in person out there tonight...
Peace

The whole trail had been riddled with harrowing views and hairpin escapes. It began 364 nights prior with the Villanovan nightmare in Houston. It rang with snarls from Duke (in the ACC tournament semifinals), from Arkansas (which led by five with 3:30 left in the second round) and from Kentucky (which led by five with five minutes left in the South Region final).

Talk of non opioid analgesics, while perhaps helpful for current and future pain sufferers, is hardly a solution for the millions of people already addicted. Criminal justice approaches, like border interdiction, arrest and maximally sentencing drug dealers even some has never, in the long history of the War on Drugs, been successful. Moreover, these approaches towards drug use are part of why our country has the greatest number of prisoners on earth, a good proportion for non violent drug offenses.

But an expert on the species told CBS News on Friday that the dolphin displays of affection put the safety of the dolphin at risk, too.The 10 foot male bottlenose dolphin, now known locally and internationally as Zafar, has been rubbing against swimmers and boats or kayaks.

The ban took effect on August 20.and diving are banned on the village shoreline whenever the presence of the dolphin is confirmed, reads a bylaw enacted by Lars (translated from the French).
