I've posted about Brad Will before. He was an amazing independent photo journalist who ended up filming his own death in Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2006. I have great respect for journalists of this type. His reporting was riveting.
Some info:
- Wikipedia page of information about Brad.
- Friends of Brad Will.
- Democracy Now writeup on the recent NYC protest.
- Mexican authorities charge the wrong man to avoid justice.
- The Mérida Initiative – aka "Plan Mexico", most likely a USA plan to militarize Latin America.
Below are some photos of a protest outside the Mexican Consulate in New York City on Monday. Had Brad been alive still, his camera would have been rolling. The presence of a police car doesn't surprise me.
These images just arrived in my e-mail. The protesters are a small group, but bless 'em for doing the work I don't have the courage to do.
The murderes haven't been charged yet, what a crying shame.Now that the war in Iraq is coming to an end, the lobby needs to have a new location for their stuff, to be sold to. Any reason seems to be a good one, for profits and militarisation.Nice post by the way.
i will read your previous post on him and then come back and make better comment here.
I fail to understand why these things happen and nothing is done about it.
I think it's the big C.Corruption.
you can count on it
thanks for sharing the pictures Dave :heart:no justice ,no justice by any means! 😥
