Solidarity with Tesla
Tesla’s sentencing finally came down a few days ago. Her guilt was affirmed and she was sentenced to 4 years in prison. Tesla will appeal this in the supreme court of Honduras on May 14th, 2008. As such, we are renewing our efforts for international solidarity. At the Supreme Court, Telsa will ask that the case be thrown out and her freedom granted. The Supreme Court has the power to make this happen. We are seeking international support for a colleague and friend, Tesla Ventura. She has been unjustly persecuted for her actions in support of her community.
