This is an email I got from a friend of mine. I don't usually forward stuff like this, but this follows under the 'letting as many people know as humanly possible' umbrella, so if you don't like it, shove it. If you're unsure about the truthfulness of his situation, GOOGLE IT like I did and check out the links from places like the
Free Republic and
the AACL. This is a man from Michigan who lived in the US for forty years, and worked for Daimler Chrysler for 30. He's a US citizen, and he deserves better than this.
Nope, not LJ cutting. Deal. I said I wanted to get a little more active, so here I am.
Hello Friends and Family,
I hope each of you had a great weekend! I know some of you haven't
heard from me in a while, but I need your help spreading the word about
a VERY important issue! .
The father of my best friend Luigi - Kola Dedvukaj - has been held in a
prison in Montenegro for over a year. Kola is a US citizen, and was
visiting Montenegro for a wedding. He was dragged from his bed, beaten
severely, and put in prison; he has yet to be charged with a crime. The
prison is not climate controlled and his health is deteriorating; he
spent his 59th birthday alone in his cell.
His five children, wife, and grandchildren are desperately waiting for
him to come home. We need EVERYONE'S help in distributing this video
through myspace, your email account, you-tube or any other way you think
may be helpful. Please help!!!
Please take a look at this video that Luigi's family created at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCRZrJAH47U; it also appears on myspace
at
http://www.myspace.com/freekola After you watch the video, please do two things:
1. Please forward the links to the you-tube video -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCRZrJAH47U and myspace page -
http://www.myspace.com/freekola to anyone and everyone you know. We
need the word to get out, and Kola to be allowed to return home.
2. Please visit the you-tube video at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCRZrJAH47U, setup a login (only takes a
few minutes), and then rate the video 10+. Once enough people view the
video and rate it high, it may eventually get on the main you-tube page
- increasing the likelihood that others in the country will view it and
respond.
I know we are all busy, but please take the time to do these things. I
promise the few minutes you spend will help this family reunite. If you
wish to help further, please contact your federal government officials;
details can be found on the myspace page.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thank you!!!
