[WCUSP] Fwd: [womeninblack] Italian Journalist Giuliana Sgrena to Appeal Court Ruling... (Democracy Now)

[yvonne simmons]

Dear All, In Rome a few years ago I made a video for
cable access, Flying Focus Video Collective, with
Giuliana Sgrena at her home in Rome not long after she
had been shot. If anyone would like a copy let me
know. The newspaper, Il Manifesto she writes for was
started many years ago by activist family I knew and
lived with when I lived in Rome. In peace Yvonne>
