The situation at Radio for Peace International in Costa Rica has gone from bad to worse. Not only is the station requested to leave the campus of the University for Peace, with chains having bee placed on the main gate and armed guards posted, the University has now cut off water and power supplies.
RFPI station chief James Latham stated that RFPI staff did not intend to leave the station premises. He said that if food were blockaded too, the staff would be forced into a hunger strike. RFPI volunteers have been supplying food through a hole in the fence that surrounds the university site.
“We are not moving until this whole thing is over,” stated Latham.
