Dear all,
As a follow up on Yuyun´s kind update on the situation of our friends
Gigie Cruz, Shibu Nair and Neil Tangri, we are very relieved to let you
know that the GAIA 3 left Jakarta today and they´re flying back home
right now. They´re fine, despite the tiredness and stress of the whole
experience. They were deported after all, and were not allowed to
continue with their plan to go to Bali to attend the climate meetings.
We want to thank everybody for their solidarity and rapid support to our
colleagues, and all the caring messages sent. The international support
was very helpful to get them back home. We’re also so thankful to Yuyun
for keeping them company from start to finish and for keeping them safe
all the time, and to our colleagues in Indonesia who pushed locally for
their release. Also, we congratulate our Fantastic Five (Gigie, Neil,
Shibu, Roni and Yuyun) for their strong faith and vigilance!
We´re planning to release a statement to draw attention on this at
the Bali meetings, so we will be asking for your support once again in
the coming days.
Thanks again for being there and helping get our friends back home.
All the best,
The GAIA Coordination Team
