Ascendant Offices Shut Down in Intag
4th October 2007
Dear friends, We have just received good news from Carlos Zorrilla. It looks like Ascendant Copper has been officially removed from Intag region. We think this is the “official” victory we have been waiting for! Our congratulations to the people of Intag who again demonstrate the power of the people to fight for what is right. Also, thank you to everyone who has dedicated money, labor, time, letters, and moral support to this struggle.
We warn, however, that the situation remains exceedingly dangerous in Intag region. An email from Laura Stevens this morning indicates that there are death threats circulating and rumors that leaders, including the international observers, might be kidnapped. We remain on high alert, and we anticipate the continued need for the observers during the months ahead. Our work does not end with this good news. We will be supporting the post-conflict process. The real work has just begun!
