Defend Naseh Ghafor the struggle goes on

i become involved on the 12.8.04.. i simply could not
walk away and let this man die.. this would have
happened if myself, deacon dave & jean wood had one,
not been involved and two, been continuously talking
with Naseh Ghafor..

from the moment i got involved i realised he was a
politcal pawn.. to me here was a man prepared to die
rather than face going back to iraq.. how often, how
meny times are people like Naseh Ghafor going to be
let down and used as political pawns in the power
games of self interested people? be them in government
or selling papers to each other on the demo held on
saturday for Naseh Ghafor..

now i need to re-focus on my homelessness and other
hassles.. the fight for Naseh Ghafor goes on.. this is
not about class.. one simple slogan on the demo should
have been: no borders, no states, no class divide.. it
has become very apparent to me that class is is used
as a means of subjugation.. like wise politics.. we
need to see further than what we are told.. we need to
see people as human.. i saw Naseh Ghafor watched the
fear in a young man as he was let down on all sides..
i have no doubt deacon dave, jean wood and myself
saved this man's life.. what happens when we are not
there? the very act of being polical is seeing people
as human this is my own "jihad".. i simply acted upon
the very real need of another broken human needing
love, time and support plus i was happy to give and
aford the time for Naseh Ghafor, a brave and very
courageous person.. who from the age of 17 to now has
suffered because of human self interest be that in the
form of blunkett or the paper sellers or self
righteous religious people/warring factions.. for me
it was a act of humanity not a career devolopment
opportunity and so forth..

i hope we have realised some basic truths of ourselves
and start to act upon them.. as a freedom
fighter/communist with leanings towards being pagan, i
know i have learned some real hard truths of myself
during the fight to save Naseh Ghafor i also hope we
all have learned.. however i doubt we will have.. that
we will go back to our own self interest and Naseh
Ghafor will just form part of what you did for summer
conversations.. how sad a reflection upon what selfish
self centred people we have become as human beings..
it saddens me to my very being there are thousands of
people like Naseh Ghafor either seeking refuge here as
well as people direct from the uk.. well that's my
thoughts now his hunger strike is over.. see you at
the next one i have no doubt..
