About this week’s guest: Kathy Kelly and Brian Concannon
Kathy Kelly is a long-time political and social activist and coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence (VCNV). In 1996, she helped establish Voices in the Wilderness to end the repressive US/UN Iraqi sanctions. VCNV is a dedicated resistance campaign to end the Iraq war and “global war on terror.”
Kelly has been to Iraq two dozen times. In October 2002, she joined Iraq Peace Team members in Baghdad and remained there throughout “Operation Shock and Awe” and the invasion. Most recently she was in northern Iraq in May 2006.
For her efforts, she’s been threatened, harassed, arrested, and in 1988 served nine months in Lexington, KY maximum security prison for planting corn on nuclear missile silo sites.
Kelly authored and contributed to three books and has received dozens of awards. She’s also a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee – in 2000 with Denis Halliday, in 2001 and in 2003 along with Voices in the Wilderness.
Today’s topic – ending the Iraq war.
Brian Concannon is a distinguished human rights lawyer and Director of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti. IJDH “works with grassroots groups in Haiti to develop an effective human rights advocacy program with global outreach.”
It’s also active with grassroots organizations in the US and with Haitian Diaspora activists throughout the world promoting human rights in Haiti.
Haiti is an occupied country. Under US direction, it’s controlled by UN Blue Helmet paramilitaries and a repressive Haitian National Police. Discussion will focus on current events in the country and the horrendous conditions under which Haitians are forced to live.
