National
Call-In
day
on
Colombia,
February
15,
2000
2/11/00
In addition to being a national
day of vigils against soaring incarceration rates, Feb. 15 is also a national
call-in day opposing the administration's proposed counternarcotics aid
package to Colombia's military, an institution with known ties to paramilitary
death squads. In last week's short update, DRCNet forwarded a detailed
alert from the Washington Office on Latin America. If you don't have
it in your e-mail, you can find it online at http://www.wola.org/colcallingday.html.
