Death
threats in Guatemala
|
| Death
threats have been made against 11 journalists and human
rights workers in Guatemala, allegedly because of their
efforts to investigate disappearances at the hands of
the country's military.
Amnesty
International have made the case the focus of their
latest "Urgent Action" appeal, requesting
that people write to the relevant authorities expressing
their concerns. Past letter writing campaigns have
resulted in numerous governments releasing or acting
to protect those who have been wrongly imprisoned,
tortured, threatened or attacked.
Full
details of the case and addresses to write to can
be downloaded from the links below.

Special
meeting on freelance issues
|
| NUJ
Freelance Organiser, John Toner, has kindly accepted
an invitation to Scotland later this month and agreed
to hold a special meeting on freelance issues.
The
most urgent item he needs to talk to members about
is the negotiations with the BBC on its copyright
grab on radio talks and features. The NUJ has been
negotiating on this for four years and is seeking
the support of members for the position it has taken.
It is
also an opportunity to discuss other freelance issues
with the union's Freelance Organiser along with members
of the Scottish Executive Council. The meeting will
be held at the STUC offices in Woodlands Road, Glasgow
on Friday June 28 at 3pm.
All
NUJ members are invited, and indeed encourage, to
attend.
