North East to Far East

Stephen Hughes, Labour MEP for North East England, was among the many people who signed up to the Hands Off the People of Iran campaign in the last week.

Hopi continues to attract attention in North America. New signatories from Canada include sociologist professor Chris Doran (University of New Brunswick) and geographer professor Harald Bauder (University of Guelph), and, from the United States, economist professor John Roemer (Yale University), cultural critic professor Steven Shaviro (Wayne State University), historian professor Mike Davis (University of California, Irvine) and Manning Marable, professor of African-American studies at Columbia University.

And in the Far East, Marxist historian/anthropologist professor Arif Dirlik (Chinese University of Hong Kong), defence and strategic studies expert KS Balakrishnan (University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur) and psychologist Leo Marai (University of Papau New Guinea) have declared their support for Hopi.

If you would like to join the list of supporters, you can sign up via Hopi's website at www.hopoi.org or email your name, position/affiliation and contact details to office@hopoi.info.

If you are interested in organising a local event for Hopi, the campaign team can supply speakers and advise on how best to publicise it. Don't hesitate to call us on 07738 828540 or email office@hopoi.info.
