Tighe Barry's reply..................

Code Pink's Tighe Barry's reply in response to Email to Tighe Barry.

Thank you for your kind words. I am so proud to be considered so well in the community of such brave and powerful people of your country. We were so happy to see that the spirit and love of democracy, human rights and liberty is so strong in the Pakistani people. My wish is that the people in my country wake up and join you in your struggle before we have lost our rights completely. Musharraf and Bush are the same anti-democatic authoritarian regimes. thanks again and stay in touch, this fight has only just begun.

Tighe Barry

His actions have already been encouraging for us, and hope his words do the same. Please leave a message to this brave humanitarian, he's reaching out to help us and millions like us world wide. Drop in a line or two to let him know how much we appreciate him.

Dear Tighe,

Just wanted to thanku for what you stood up for, what you did for the sake of people of Pakistan.

I noticed activists of "Code Pink" 0n 30th Nov protest, and every protest from then on, Initially it seemed strange, why would a foriegner be interested in our fate? most don't seemed to be concerned at all. Every govt in East or West is supporting Musharraf. Turkey's PM visit was a recent example.

But having talked to one of your fellow activist in Press Club Lahore, I sensed a feeling of genuine concern for the people's right to freedom of thought,expression,gathering,self determination and access to information and independent judiciary, be it anywhere in the world...............What a principle stance Code Pink is taking.

I praise your courage and boldness, knowing that it wasn't done for getting so, but feels nice to know, that atlast someone stood up there and spoke for us.

We consider you standing shoulder to shoulder with us in this struggle, even when you are not in Pakistan.
