Australians Against Capital Punishment are holding a vigil this Friday at Brisbane Square to try to raise awareness of the plight of those facing execution around the world.
Hopefully we can succeed in reaching out to the Christmas shopping crowd that will be filling the streets, and get a lot of signatures on petitions and form letters as well as having a decent audience for the music and speakers we’ve arranged.
The climate change summit in Bali now on, will be our new PM’s first official meeting with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and hopefully the sunject of the Bali Nine will be raised, and perhaps some progress will come out of this meeting.
5.30-7pm Friday December 14th
Queens Park – cnr George and Elizabeth Sts
Speakers include
Stephen Keim, QC
Senator Andrew Bartlett
Music from the Brisbane Lesbian and Gay Pride Choir and Combined Unions Choir and the Wagner String Quartet
To be opened with a statement from Lee and Christine Rush, parents of one of the young Australians facing execution in Indonesia. Spare a thought for those on death row.
