Ask Secretary Clinton to let a leading Afghan peace activist visit the U.S.

Dr. Wee Teck Young is a Singaporean physician and activist who has lived and worked in Afghanistan for years, organizing a group of young people called the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers. They have worked to promote nonviolent alternatives, ethnic reconciliation, and an end to war.

Ask Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to let him visit the United States.

Dr. Wee shuns his official title, preferring "Hakim," the name bestowed on him by Afghans after he had served as a public health doctor among refugees on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. In the Dari language, "Hakim" means "learned one and local healer."

This week, the Fellowship of Reconciliation awarded Hakim its International Peace Prize. Also this week, the U.S. State Department refused to grant Hakim a visa to visit the United States, where he would speak about nonviolence.

Urge Secretary of State Clinton to grant Hakim a visa.

Poster Comment:

It's not in Israel's interest to end Afghan war until the country becomes Israel-friendly so this Jew agent masquerading as US secretary of state is not likely to listen.
