[CPEO-MEF] Vieques Alert from Roberto Rabin

[bieke@coqui.net]

Friends,

Greetings of solidarity from Vieques.  We are on alert in all the
resistance encampments.  In recent days we have noted an increase in
activity by soldiers and other federal officials in the Navy zone:  more
flights by helicopters over the camps in the bombing area and at the gates
of Camp Garcia, flights that are much lower and with different kinds of
helicopters, visits to the area of the gates (Campamento Justicia y Paz)
by federal officials taking photos and doing reconnaissance of the area.

We have received information from people known to be reliable about
possible actions against the resistance encampments in the coming days.

We are on alert and we will inform you - inasmuch as possible - about
events here in the trenches.

Any assistance in these moments is crucial:  coordinate travel to the
camps, send economic contributions o provisions, send letters to the
President, to local newspapers, call in to radio programs in support of
the camps.

It is especially important that all solidarity organizations be =
developing their strategies on actions they will take on the Isla Grande
and/or mobilizations to Vieques.

WE DO NOT WANT TO WASTE ENERGY OR RESOURCES.  WE AWAIT THE CORRECT =
MOMENT TO ACT.  NOW, AT 7:52 AM ON TUESDAY, MARCH 14, THERE HAVE BEEN NO
CONCRETE ACTIONS AGAINST THE CAMPS.  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ATTENTIVE
TO THE CALLS BY ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERS OF THE CAMPS IN VIEQUES - NOT TO
RUMORS
NOR SENSATIONALIST INFORMATION IN THE MEDIA.

It is important that you do not heed rumors nor half-truths.  You should
verfy any information about arrests with people in Vieques related to
our struggle.  Here are some contacts:
