Mission supports Filipino journalists: Alliance federal president Ruth Pollard is leading an International Federation of Journalists mission to the Philippines to provide solidarity and support to families of at least 30 journalists killed in a massacre in Mindinao province last week. The mission will also call on the Arroyo government to properly investigate the atrocity and bring the perpetrators to justice. A global day of solidarity will be held on December 9. You may donate through the Alliance Safety and Solidarity Fund - BSB: 944300 A/C: 012146838. Send your message of solidarity and sympathy via our guestbook at http://www.alliance.org.au/option,com_jambook/Itemid,148/
Justice for murdered journalist: The Alliance has written to Federal Attorney-General, Robert McClelland requesting the referral of ABC cameraman Paul Moran’s murder to the AFP for further investigation, with the possible aim of extraditing the man responsible to Australia to face war crimes charges. The mastermind of Moran’s death in a suicide bombing in Iraq in March 2003 is widely recognised as Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, better known as Mullah Krekar, currently Oslo resident and noted as a key lieutenant of UN-listed terrorist organisation Ansar al-Islam.
