Germans Launch Solidarity Campaign for U.S. Resisters
Confined in Mannheim Prison
Call for international support of GIs who refused deployment to Afghanistan
Berlin, January 30, 2008. When Iraq veteran and conscientious objector Agustín Aguayo was confined in the U.S. military prison in Mannheim, Germany from October 2006 until April 2007, he received hundreds of post cards and letters from German supporters. On December 21, 2007, when Agustín was awarded a German peace prize in Stuttgart, he told an audience of hundreds how much the letters and post cards — many in broken English — will always mean to him.
