URGENT call for signatures - "The Tunisian league is threaten by the Tunisian regime"



Dear all,

Please find hereafter an appeal to be signed by NGOs and trade-unions. 
The Tunisian Human Rights League is seriously threatened by the 
Tunisian governement, at the time they are starting organizing the 
independent Tunisian Civil Society for participation to WSIS phase 2, 
so that they can make an independent voice heard from Tunisia.

I have been in Tunis at their invitation on Friday April 30, 2004, to 
give a conference on WSIS, which issues are at stake and how the 
Tunisian independent civil society may organize itself together with 
intyernation civil society. This conference was the first of a series 
of events to be organized during WSIS preparation phase by the Tunisian 
Human Rights League. The other panelist was Eric Bernard, from Panos 
Institute, West Africa. On the same day, the Tunisian Human Rights 
League has also released its 2004 report, entitled "Medias under 
control" and launched an appeal to help them. I'll make later on a 
report on the decisions they made and the many ideas that were proposed.

The following petition is the first reaction of help from French Human 
Rights League (LDH) and International Federation of Human Rights 
Leagues (FIDH).

Please note that signatures from organizations are urgently needed, and 
should be sent directly to LDH (see at the end).

=========
The appeal " The Tunisian league is threaten by the Tunisian regime "

The Tunisian Human rights league (LTDH) is threaten of financial
suffocation. The Tunisian regime blocs funds raising from the European
Commission which were destinated to the Tunisian Human rights league.
Therefore, this association will be forced to closed its offices in 
Tunis
and in other tunisian's cities.

By acting in such manners, the Tunisian regime is trying to struggle an
organisation that defends human rights, the same one it already attacked
several times.

We must not let it happen.

We must express our active solidarity with the Tunisian Human rights 
league.
Let's support fiancially the Tunisian Human rights league. Send a check 
to
the French Human League (LDH) at : 138, rue marcadet (with the mention "
pour la LTDH ").

Thanks you
