PMWATCH - Feb. 11, 2002 -- Anyone who has followed the media since June 19, 2001, the day a case was officially lodged in Belgium against Ariel Sharon, must have been struck by the reluctance with which these momentous events have been covered (or rather, NOT covered) here in the United States. The New York Times, for instance, simply refused to cover them for weeks on end: (See http://www.pmwatch.org/pmw/features/sharonlawsuit.html )

A new site has now been established at: http://www.indictsharon.net that follows the trials very closely. Please impress on the media to cover these trials. It is indeed huge news that the leader of America's closest ally is being taken to court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Fill your personal information and add your comments about the need to cover the trials. You may also incluse the urls mentined here or any other information on the trials.
