Kawther Salam's Diary 

Hell Made in Israel (6/7/02)

Letters supporting Kawther Salam, from Ilanna Mandel, MA, RRP
ISM - DC POWERS AND ASSOC

Dear Amnesty International:

I am a professional rehabilitation counsellor (Registration No. MAN 10100-R) working in Vancouver, BC. Also, I am a professional writer and have published numerous articles and one book in the field of disability issues.

As an organization that cares deeply about the violation of human rights, I wish to alert you to the situation faced by professional journalist, Kawther Salam. She lives in Hebron, under Israeli occupation and faces brutal conditions, sexual harassment, and human indignities every day. Ms.

Salam is a credentialed journalist and only seeks asylum somewhere so she can live and work in peace. She is also in need of urgent medical treatment and seeks to travel through Ben Gurion Airport tomorrow.

Please, if there's anything you can do to assist her, I urge you to do so. You may access her information at the following website: www.gush-shalom.org.

Thank you for your attention to this most serious matter.

Sincerely,

Ilanna Mandel, MA, RRP
