If the representatives of a western democracy are not willing to take on board the burden of protecting one of the most couragous advocates of freedom in the face of barbarism then it is our duty to do all we can. I, personally, would be honoured to make a donation towards the protection of this remarkable woman. Something concrete has to be done before she is left exposed to the wolves.
