As you would expect there has been a lot of media interest.
 You will see that we will be calling on Nelson Mandela to speak out
about Zimbabwe. Many people think that a comment from him could help
avert the unfolding tragedy.
The human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, who has always supported
our cause, is organising two extra events to try to get Mr Mandela to
say something. He asks for our support for the following:
·        Wednesday night (25/6) at 6.15pm in Hyde Park as Gordon
Brown, Bill Clinton and world leaders arrive for a dinner in honour
of Mandela (which he will also attend). This dinner will have
guaranteed worldwide media coverage. We will meet at 6pm sharp inside
Marble Arch tube station by the ticket office.
·        Thursday morning at 10 am outside the Dorchester Hotel in
Park Lane, where Mandela is staying. We will meet on the pavement
outside the hotel at 10am sharp.
Peter is anxious there should be a good representation of black
Zimbabweans. He is organising some placards, but people might like to
help by bringing their own on the theme of: “Mandela, Speak out” and
“Mandela – Help save Zimbabwe”. Note: Placard slogans should be
written in large, thick dark coloured letters on a light or white
background (these photograph best).
We all know this is a crucial time and the fate of our families hangs
in the balance so it’s vital we all make an extra effort to be active
for Zimbabwe. But please obey police instructions. They have been
very supportive of the Vigil.
 YOUR SUPPORT IN ZIMBABWE’S HOUR OF NEED COULD MAKE ALL THE
DIFFERENCE.
