Dear Dr. Lin,
On behalf of the survivors of the genocide and aggression that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and the 350,000 individuals of Bosnian descent that reside in North America, we welcome the decision of the San Jose Peace and Justice Center to cancel Michael Parenti’s lecture on Thursday, May 31 2012. We appreciate your willingness to meet and take into account the stories of the Bosnian community members in California who are survivors of genocide and war crimes.
The decision that you have made is just and supports the peace and justice around the world. Thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Professor Emir Ramic
