Crossing the Line features a speech by Michel Shehadeh
Podcast, The Electronic Intifada, 8 January 2008
This week on Crossing The Line: host Christopher Brown airs a speech given by Palestinian activist Michel Shehadeh. Shehadeh was a member of what the media dubbed, the Los Angeles Eight (LA8), who were a group of individuals accused of aiding a member group of the Palestinian Liberation Organization which the US government considers a terrorist organization. Shehadeh spoke on 29 November 2007 -- the international day of solidarity with Palestine -- in San Francisco about the Palestinian struggle for liberation.
As always, Crossing the Line begins with "This week in Palestine," a service provided by The International Middle East Media Center. The program finishes with a segment called, "The Occupation's Impact" which lists the names of people killed as a result of the occupation.
Crossing the Line is a weekly podcast dedicated to giving voice to the voiceless in occupied Palestine. Through investigative news, arts, eyewitness accounts, and music, Crossing the Line does its best to present the lives of people on the ground.
Crossing the Line's host, Christopher Brown, is an independent journalist currently living in San Francisco. Brown's South African roots and desire for social change are the reason for his strong solidarity with the Palestinian people. In 1990 Brown was arrested in South Africa where he was detained and tortured for nearly two years by the South African secret police. Brown also lived and worked in the Old City of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
