The story

The allegation is shocking: an 8-year-old girl lured to a storage-shed with the promise of chewing gum, pinned down and sexually assaulted by four boys; 14, 13, 10, and 9.

The response from the girl’s family sent a second and equally stunning shockwave through their Phoenix, Arizona, community: “The parents felt that they had been shamed or embarrassed by their child,” reported Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill.

As a result, the girl was taken into custody by Arizona’s child welfare agency.

When I see discrimination, my soul cries

A Prayer for EVERYONE

A Prayer for EVERYONEBelinda CarlisleA Prayer for EVERYONE

 

Belinda Carlisle

Every child deserves love,

A safe place to run and play

Every man deserves a chance

To bring home a decent pay

Every race is equal

Beloved in god’s eyes

When I see discrimination, my soul cries

Say a prayer for everyone

Every child deserves love

A safe place to run and play

Every woman deserves a chance

To bring home a decent pay

Say a prayer for everyone. 

Say a prayer for the lonely

A prayer for the confused

Say a prayer if you’d only

For the secretly abused

Say a prayer for the newborn

With all the battles to be won

Say a prayer for the tired and worn

Walk a mile with a stranger

Put yourself in his shoes

Lend a hand

To an old one

Good will come to you

In our heads were happy

We go our merry way

In our hearts, were all afraid of our dying day

Say a prayer for the lonely

A prayer for the confused

Say a prayer if you’d only

For the secretly abused

Say a prayer for the newborn,

With all the battles to be won

Say a prayer for the tired and worn

Say a prayer for everyone

Say a prayer for the lonely

A prayer for the confused

Say a prayer if you’d only

For the secretly abused

Say a prayer for the newborn

With all the battles to be won

Say a prayer for the tired and worn

Say a prayer for everyone

“WHY ARE WE STILL ALL SILENT?”

“WHY ARE WE STILL ALL SILENT?”

Recently, an election in Iran has been stolen.

The question is:

“Why are the lights still out at all levels of Canadian-governments, Provincial & Federal?

Is there an electricity-strike in Quebec that the lights went out?

Did the lights go-out at all institutions, organizations and communities in Montreal?

Are all Canadians still sitting in the dark, and can NOT act?”

What we still have is total silence.

Regardless who won the election, the hearts and hopes of the world are with the Democratic-Protesters of Iran, as they face violent-crackdowns.

The death of Neda Agha-Soltan, 26 years old, shot in the chest, by a Basij member, along with at least 17 other Iranians who lost their lives, in the cause of freedom and right-of-expression, voicing their pain & dismay.

Several other civil society activists and human rights lawyers, including Shadi Sadr, Abdolfattah Soltani, Kambiz Nourouzi and Mohammed Ali Dadkhah, have been detained in recent days.

More than 2,000 people have been illegal, arbitrary and violently arrested, since the contested June 12 elections.

Some have DISAPEARED.

We urgently need a united international-community, Iranian and Interfaith- Communities join together, to speak with one voice, expressing solidarity with People of Iran, against the crackdowns.

I call upon all Canadian-Montréalers; join in organizing a Vigil in Support and Memory of the fallen innocent-victims in Iran, in the cause of Human-Rights & Freedom.
