An Open Letter to America: “Now is the time for us to stand up and stand together”
By Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr.

My Fellow Americans:

The power of our voices against the U.S. occupation of Iraq is reaching the top echelons of the military and the administration. Our government is persecuting Americans who speak out against the U.S. military presence in Iraq. The U.S. military has launched politicized attacks on its own military members and moral leaders who oppose the war to discredit their voices of dissent.

We have seen them target Cpl. Adam Kokesh to stop him from exercising his freedom of speech, after risking his life in Fallujah, Iraq. We have seen them threaten Sgt. Liam Madden for publicly stating the legal fact that the U.S. invasion is a war crime according to the Nuremberg principles. They have targeted Cpl. Cloy Richards, a soldier put in the media spotlight when his mother Tina Richards worked to get him the health care he needs after returning from Iraq eighty percent disabled. These are not happenstance targets. These young men are leaders of the Iraq Veterans Against the War and they are speaking out in a strong and coordinated way.

International students who graduate from UK universities will be permitted to stay on for an extra year to work, the government has announced.From May 1, students who pass a bachelors degree or earn a postgraduate qualification in any subject can apply to extend their visas in a move that the Department for Education and Skills hopes will “cement the UK’s status as a top study destination for international students”.

The International Graduates Scheme replaces one that had previously only been open to science and engineering graduates in England.

The higher education minister, Bill Rammell, said the year-long visas will “allow UK employers to benefit from skilled people who have gained UK qualifications and have experience of living in the UK.”

The offer comes as overseas fees for the price of student visas rose from £85 to £99 yesterday. Work permits applied for overseas also went up, from £85 to £200.

The National Union of Students welcomed the move, saying it could cushion the blow of the visa charges.

“Visa cost rises are being widely criticised as a disincentive for international students applying to the UK,” said NUS officer Issahaku Kotomah. “The policy of allowing international students an extra year’s stay to attract more applicants is probably aimed at keeping up numbers to meet ambitions for attracting a lucrative market.”

Universities UK, which represents vice-chancellors, has often been critical of the government’s decision to raise visa costs, fearing it will force students to study elsewhere. But a spokesman said this scheme was “good news for the UK higher education sector”.
