[bestbits] Argentina deports 2 straight from Bs As airport

[Peter Micek]

I think we should aim high, addressing the UN Secretary general, head of
WTO, president of Argentina, and perhaps the High Commissioner for Human
Rights.

For reference, here's the Access Now statement on the original conference
rejections, previous to this awful news.

Ouch!!!

I think that this situation calls for an international statement of
solidarity from global civil society.

I'd like to convene an informal drafting group (open to all civil
society) for quickly drafting a sign-on statement on this matter.

Therefore, everyone who would like to be involved, please let me know.

Greetings,
Norbert
