Betty Krawczyk back behind bars!

Urgent ELP! Bulletin (15th July 2007)

Dear friends

ELP has recently learnt that Canadian eco-activist, Betty Krawczyk,
is back inside.

Long term ELP supporters will be familiar with Betty and her
anti-logging activities. We understand that Betty is currently
serving ten months for standing up against the Olympic development at
Eagleridge Bluffs in West Vancouver on traditional Squamish territory.

Please send urgent letters of support to:

ELP would like to say a big thank you to our supporters who helped
ELP track down Betty's address. You know who you are!

And for all those interested, below is a mainstream media article about Betty:

The interview is contains an intro, but no extro. It is in two parts,
as the phone call got cut off by the prison phone system and leaves a
space for a station ID or other break.
