Help Deep Dish and the WTI

Deep Dish TV, the first grassroots television network in the United States (http://www.deepdishtv.org), will provide a global uplink of the 16th and final session of the World Tribunal on Iraq (http://www.worldtribunal.org) to be held in Istanbul, Turkey June 24th-27th 2005.

This will only be possible if we are able to raise enough funds for the satellite uplink. This is a large task, so we need your help to make it happen!

Deep Dish is offering a free 1-hour program for downlink each of the four days of the conference. The program will be broadcast:

June 24, 2100-2200GMT/1700-1800 ET/0000-0100 Turkish time
June 25, 2100-2200GMT/1700-1800 ET/0000-0100 Turkish time
June 26, 1900-2200GMT/1500-1800 ET/ 2200-0100 Turkish time
June 27 TBD

If you know of a TV station that would be interested in downlinking these programs, we will send you the satellite coordinates.

The final WTI session in Istanbul includes the following participants: Arundhati Roy, attorney Richard Falk, former UN weapons inspector Hans von Sponeck, Baskin Oran, member of the Humans Rights Advisory Council in Turkey, author John Berger, journalist Dahr Jamail, Tokyo professor of law Akira Aeda, former UN official Denis Halliday, Iraqi museum founder & curator Amal Al Khedairy and many witnesses from Iraq.
