We, members of civil society, NGO, writers, thinkers, officially ask from the Fondazione Monte Paschi Di Siena to withdraw its sponsoring of the colloquium EUCOCO 2007, which will be held on the 19th, 20th and 21st of October in Rome.
As you certainly now, two Australian journalists, Violeta Ayala and Daniel Fallshaw, have recently discovered the regular practice of slavery in the camps administered by the Polisario Frente, and made a documentary relating the story, which is to be released in 2008.
Our action is not motivated by political partisanship for one side or another on the conflict over Western Sahara, but we do urge any organization to withheld its support to any event including the Polisario Frente until the grave accusations of mass-scale slavery in the Tindouf Camps (South of Algeria) are answered to by an International and independent Investigation Committee.
We are certain that your respected institution does not want to be part of any act of slavery, and we are therefore invoking the precautionary principle, which should guide you in making the right decision.
Best regards
