[URBANTH-L]Petition in support of Raul Figueroa Sarti

[Martha Lincoln]

Here below is a letter from Professor Victoria Sanford, a professor at
Lehman College/CUNY Graduate Center, regarding the case of her husband.
Raul Figueroa Sarti is an independent publisher in Guatemala City who has
been arrested by the Guatemalan government on trumped up charges.

Victoria has devoted her career to documenting the Guatemalan state's abuses
against citizens. Her husband Raul, of F & G Editores, has supervised the
publication of numerous works that confront the government on its record of
genocide and human rights abuses.  Victoria is unable to go to Guatemala
because of threats.  She is asking for signatures to two documents, a
petition to appear in Guatemalan newspapers and an open letter to the
Attorney General of Guatemala.  Please sign the petition in support of Raul
and/or forwarding the below to your own networks.

Thank you,
Martha Lincoln
