RE:
INFO TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE
Computer-Mediated Technologies & Social Development Issues
in Africa.
Dear Friends of Africa:
Conference details are located at:
http://www.ghaclad.org/conferences/ghaclad2000/index.htm.
This conference is one of the most comprehensive efforts
undertaken to date to assess the status of Africa and its
partners to design a blueprint for the continent.
GhaCLAD 1998 raised the general level of awareness of Ghana
and Africa to our need to become a knowledge society; to
strengthen our present knowledge-creating institutions; to
create new African knowledge institutions; and to use the
new technologies of communication to bring knowledge to our
nations from wherever in the world it is now available.
If you have been following events in Africa, you know that
important efforts are being made to bring its communities
into the age of communication and information. Initiatives
of many institutions have brought basic computers into
university classrooms and the offices of various
governmental and non-governmental organizations. But these
efforts have only just begun, and there is much yet to be
learned. That is why we are organizing GhaCLAD2000, to
assemble the best minds available around such critical
issues as using technology to promote education and health
in Africa.
The main theme for GhaCLAD2000 is "Moving Toward an African
Educational & Health Information Highway: Visions,
Opportunities and Challenges."
The theme of the conference reflects the need to design and
implement programs that enlarge our stock of knowledge,
programs that are realistic, affordable, and able to be
implemented in time to make a difference in the lives of our
citizens and the health of our nations.
All of our sessions will be focused on specific proposals
for moving into action.
We invite you to submit a one (1) page abstract for
consideration for presentation at the conference. The
abstract should focus on one or more of the GhaCLAD2000
conference sub-themes.
Go to:
http://www.ghaclad.org/ghaclad2000/overview/cfp/index.htm
Other related topics will also be considered. The abstract
should be sent to:
callforpapers at ghaclad.org.
We hope you can join our effort as a conference attendee in
July at the
launching of this global effort to bring all of Africa
online as a partner in the usage of information technology
for the betterment of the continent.
For conference particulars, including travel and hotel
arrangements as well as electronic registration, we invite
you to visit our World Wide Web site:
http://www.ghacld.org
The site is updated very frequently with new information.
If you need to speak to someone about the conference or your
plans, please email:
ghaclad at ghaclad.org
Or, call:
312-996-8508
Please join us in this historic undertaking.

- HUMAN RIGHTS: Update on the case of Barry B r a i m a h,
African American tourist given a virtual "death sentence"
* * condemned to 18 years in French prison with no
right to appeal
A litany of Human Rights violations
Guilt by association
Presumption of guilt rather than presumption of innocence
http://members.aol.com/FreeBarry1/index.html
http://freeyellow.com/members3/justice1/justice.html
________________________________________________________
Depression; Beaten Morale: Writing Campaign, Last Hope
________________________________________________________
Prison conditions are deplorable; suicide goes effectively unchecked
by French authorities. Still a young man, Barry -- if he survives
to be released in 2012 -- will be nearly 50 years old, robbed of
precious years.
Please help to bolster Barry's morale: go to the above sites and
send a goodwill message to Barry (we will print out your message
and mail it to Barry in France).
Or, E-mail your personal msg to: FreeBarry1 at aol.com
By writing to Barry, you are putting authorities on notice
that others DO care about what happens to him. In general,
the more contact an inmate has with the outside world, the
more caution authorities exercise in dealing with him.
_______________
Your Letter of Appeal
Please send a letter of protest to French President Jacques Chirac
(find sample letters at the Justice site above, along with
Mr. Chirac's address in France). We are asking the French President
personally to look into what has happenend to Barry at the hands
of French Justice, and to free him forthwith.
This has been an UPHILL battle for Barry's freedom.
Essentially, French officials have turned a deaf ear to all
reasonable discussion, and have been unwilling to face up
to the strong probability, and growing evidence, of having committed
an error in the case of this African American tourist.
Barry should not have been arrested in the first palce, and under
no circumstance should he have been given an 18 year sentence
not even with the right of appeal. This is a pure act of inhumanity,
one that is effectively reserved, by and large, for minorities and
non-French in France. French prisons are brimming, disproportionately,
with persons of African, Arab, West Indian, and non-French ancestry,
and -- as Amnesty has stated in its Country Reports on France -- this
is not by accident.
Please go to the Justice site and learn about the case of Barry
who was 1) wrongfully arrested on arrival in France
in 1994 (without the American Embassy being notified
as required by Vienna Convention consular accords, and
effectively without legal counsel during his first 7 months
of incarceration), 2) held 2 years without trial or bail
or opportunity to defend himself, and finally 3) subjected
to an inquisitorial process (wherein his defense could cross
examine neither witnesses nor evidence, directly) and
condemned to 18 years in French prison with no right to
appeal.
____________
INVITATION: Join the Justice List; send any ANY message
to BOTH:
Justice at comports.com, 101716.144 at compuserve.com
with "Add to Justice List for Barry" in the Subject.
Reply to the CONFIRM Request when it arrives a few moments later.
_____________
Upcoming 7th Birthday Behind Bars
Barry's next birthday will mark his 7th passed behind
French bars.
You are encouraged to write to this American Human Rights
prisoner by posting a msg for him at the above site,
or E-mail it to: FreeBarry1 at aol.com
A msg of encouragement or goodwill sent to Barry would
surely help to bolster his morale and help his survival.

Virtually ALL who attempt to raise the funds,

Enthusiasm, persistence and follow through are
essential on your part -- as well as NOT fearing
rejection.
GIVING SOMETHING BACK
IN EXCHANGE FOR HELP:
Offering to share your experiences and
"give something back" to your campus
or community on your return may well be the
catalyst for others to want to help you.
You can give a talk or show slides or a
video of your experience, write or
publish an article, appear on local radio or
TV, or set up a program for others to have
a similar life-changing, career-enhancing
experience.
The only limit to raising the funds will be
your own imagination, desire and resolve.
AASP is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and

individuals or businesses -- are tax-deductible to
the fullest extent that the law permits.
