Two Seattle men has been charged with conspiracy and filing false
documents to enable Salvadoran refugees to remain in the U.S.
Miguel Orozco-Delgado and Oscar Uceda-Carcamo worked for agencies
which provided refugees with social and legal services. They face
up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines for each of up to seven
counts. 

The Committee for Justice for Orozco and Carcamo (CJOC) feel that
there is indeed a conspiracy. "It is a conspiracy of the
Administration and the Immigration and Naturalization Service to
further its cruel, unjust and racist policies, by harassing and
intimidating the victims of war and terror in the Caribbean and
Central America. It is a conspiracy to divert attention from the
unemployment, homelessness and economic distress within the U.S.
by victimizing those who flee tyranny abroad."

Trial is set for Nov. 30th., 1992

Can you help? The CJOC needs money for attorneys, Committee endorsers,

[Greenpeace Press Release from Greenbase -- Redistribute Freely]

GREENPEACE DENOUNCES RUSSIAN SCIENTIST'S ARREST 
  
MOSCOW October 28, 1992 (GP) Greenpeace today issued a demand
for the immediate release of Vil Mirzayanov, a Russian scientist
accused of revealing details of ongoing research for chemical
weapons production in Russia. This call comes in the wake of the
arrest of Mr Mirzayanov on charges of "revealing state secrets".
  
Negotiations for a multilateral Chemical Weapons Convention were
recently concluded in Geneva, calling for a ban on production,
use and acquisition of chemical arms.  Mr Mirzayanov's arrest
calls into question whether the spirit of the treaty has been
violated, said Alexander Knorre, director of Greenpeace Russia.
  
"Using force to silence opposition to the destructive practices
of the military cannot be tolerated," said Knorre.
  
"An essential step to curing the ills created by years of secret
military production is complete openness, and freedom of
information," he added.
  
Greenpeace urges all countries to demand the immediate release
of Mr. Mirzayanov.  This arrest signifies the danger faced by
many scientists, government officials, and activists for their
commitment to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction.
  
Further, Greenpeace protests the Russian Government's use
of force and intimidation to silence the open discussion of
the danger of these senseless weapons.  The production, use,
storage, and decommissioning of chemical weapons present a
serious threat to the environment, health, and political
stability worldwide.
  
"The problem will not disappear with the arrest of courageous
whistle blowers.  The truth can not be contained by prison bars.
We demand that the Russian authorities immediately release Mr.
Mirzayanov, and issue a full explanation of the information
released by him," said Steve Sawyer, Executive Director of
Greenpeace International.
  
Greenpeace applauds the conclusion of the Chemical Weapons
Treaty negotiations, having actively campaigned on the chemical
weapons issues in the Pacific, United States, and Russia.

EXPLOSIONS IN MONTEVIDEO DURING POLICE STRIKE

On Thursday, November 19, Uruguayan police confirmed that
there had been at attack with a fragmentation bomb near the house
of Congress where the possibility of an increase in police
salaries was being debated.  Another bomb exploded near a
monument.  Those attacks were in addition to three others which
had taken place during the night.

A grenade was thrown at a military unit from a passing
automobile, and police received reports of explosions in a park
and near the United States embassy.  However an investigation did
not reveal any evidence of those explosions.

Urugayan police have been on strike since Monday, November
15.  Therefore President Luis Alberto Lacalle ordered the army to
patrol the streets.  At least 20 soldiers were arrested for
refusing to submit to the order.

According to Reuter's new sagency the police strike may be
near an end, as it appears the congress will approve a salary
increase.  However, the proposal has to be approved by the
Chamber of Deputies as well.  The strikers have received support
from various sectors of society, among them the teachers' union
and the former Tupamaros guerrillas, legalized as a political
party since 1985. (NOTIMEX )

[Greenpeace Press Release from Greenbase -- Redistribute Freely]

CHERNOBYL'S NUMBER THREE REACTOR RESTARTS 
  
LONDON October 16, 1992 (GP) Greenpeace has received information 
today that the third reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant 
is starting up today. 
   
Chernobyl has two units intact despite the infamous accident in 
unit 4 in April 1986 which spread a radioactive cloud over the 
entire European continent. There was a further accident in 
Chernobyl's unit 2 in October 1991 which resulted in its 
permanent closure. 
  
Both units 1 and 3 were shut down early this year after defects 
were found in the fuel channel control valves. 
  
The Chernobyl power station is scheduled to be closed at the end of 
1993, however, the Ukrainian authorities say they need the  
remaining units over the winter months. 
  
But in May this year, the Ukraine State Committee for Nuclear and 
Radiation Safety said it would not support the restart of the two 
operational units on safety grounds. 
  
"It is ironic that the day after an accident in another RBMK 
reactor, this time at Ignalina in Lithuania, the most infamous  of 
nuclear power plants starts up again," said Antony Froggatt of 
Greenpeace International. 
  
Yesterday a leak in the second unit of the Ignalina power station 
forced its shutdown. This is the second time in a few months  that 
this reactor has had to be shut down for safety reasons.   
Despite the well-known risks, nuclear reactors will be restarting 
throughout Eastern Europe, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia, because 
the governments concerned and the G7 have failed to act 
responsibly. 
  
"Time and money have been wasted on trying to perform the  
impossible task of making these reactors safe," Froggatt said.   
"Instead there should have been an emergency program which 
enabled these reactors to be shut down permanently. We are all 
paying the price of this failure."

 It should be noted that these same 5 nuns were declared
murdered once before, only to reappear. The NPFL, preoccupied
with heavy fighting in Liberia, has been unable to locate
nuns or bodies of nuns, although they have launched a search
mission for them and some children who are also missing.

 Nuns or bodies of nuns have not been found, and at this date
they are still not necessarily murdered.  Since this tale has all
the ambiguity and political convenience of the classic CIA disinfo
project, we'd caution readers not to be too overwhelmed by Amnesty's
assurance that it's for real. Let's keep in mind those Iraqis
supposedly ripping Kuwaiti babies from incubators ...

Title: LATIN AMERICA: 15 MILLION CHILDREN LIVE IN THE STREETS

rio de janeiro, nov 9 (ips) -- in latin america 15 million
children live in the streets, the u.n. children's fund (unicef)
reported here monday.

unicef's director for latin america and the caribbean, marta
maurat, told a meeting of regional tv network representatives
that international aid ''should be only the last recourse in this
case.''

first of all, she said, it was necessary to ''make more
efficient use of the resources which the states involved already
have.''

second, the private sector of the regional economies could
''do much more'' for the needy and homeless children, she said.

the meeting was sponsored by the 'globo' tv network--the
biggest in brazil and fourth biggest in the world.

in a report circulated at the meeting, unicef outlined the
dramatic situation which affects many latin american children,
and said that about one million of them die each year of diseases
that can be cured.

another five million suffer from malnutrition and many more
are homeless and live in the streets.

the meeting will end tuesday, when there will be a
presentation of the so-called 'rio charter' which commits the
tv news media to provide time in the their news bulletins to
highlight the plight of poverty-stricken and homeless children.

Here is a press release from Defenders of Wildlife.

 Defenders of Wildlife Opposes Alaska Decision to Kill Large
Numbers of Wolves to Increase Moose, Caribou Herds
 To: National Desk, Environment Writer
 Contact: Lisa Swann or Dr. Al Manville, 202-659-9510, both
          of Defenders of Wildlife

  WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 -- Following is a statement by 
Dr. Albert Manville II, senior wildlife biologist, Defenders of
Wildlife.  Manville has worked on the Alaska wolf issue since 1974,
and most recently presented testimony on Nov. 13 before the Alaska
Board of Game opposing the proposed wolf control program.

   "There is a bitter irony in the Board of Game's adoption of the
Strategic Wolf Management Plan in October 1991, a plan which called
for ensuring the long-term conservation of wolves throughout their
historic range in Alaska.  The decision to restart intensive wolf
control measures reads more like a 'quick fix' prescription to
benefit a few people rather than a sound wildlife conservation
management plan for wolves and their prey.  It is a throwback to
turn-of-the-century wildlife management techniques that wiped out
the wolf and destroyed the balance of nature.  Some still believe
-- wrongly -- that if you eliminate wolves, the prey populations
will automatically rebound.  The dynamics of predator-prey
relationships are complicated and still not well understood, and
depend a great deal upon habitat type and availability.  The
elimination of all wolves in portions of the Nelchina Basin of
Alaska in the late 1970s resulted in no net increase in moose
there, since wolves turned out not to be the major predators of
moose in that area.
   "Wolf control simply will not solve the problem of more demand
for moose and caribou; what Alaska really needs are socially
responsible policy makers in step with changing public attitudes
about wildlife conservation.  By, reintroducing highly
controversial and unsophisticated management techniques such as
aerial wolf control, Alaska has put itself out of step with
national trends in wolf conservation.
   "With the approval of this massive wolf control program, the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Board of Game have shown
us beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are fully incapable of
responsibly managing Alaska's wildlife especially wolves."
