Andre
Shepherd
appeals to save his political asylum
The
U.S.
AWOL soldier André Shepherd today instructed his attorney to
institute legal proceedings against the negative ruling on his
application for asylum, served
to days ago by the German government. Peace and refugee-aid
organizations that support André Shepherd denounced the decision
of the Federal Bureau, and announced that they would continue to
support him in his suit. "This shows that the German authorities are

put their bodies on the line to oppose the war in Iraq, which even the
Federal government at the time considered to be in violation of
international law." Read

The
Quantico Marine Corp brig in Virgina, where Bradley is being held
has recently refused official visits from Congress-member Dennis Kucinich, Amnesty International, and
the UN Special Investigator on Torture. This further confirms to
the international community that Bradley's conditions may be in
violation of international law, and that brig officers and the
Department of Defense will do anything to keep it under wraps.
