Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Dr Salah Ezz
Sir: Last month, Michael Sheridan wrote about Douglas Hurd's criticism of Arab dissidents, taking refuge in London, for "abusing our hospitality by indulging in malevolent propaganda campaigns against our good friends in the region". Mr. Hurd went on to pledge "full support" for one named Gulf dictatorship. Both John Major and Douglas Hurd recently indicated to a gathering of Arab ambassadors that groups actively opposing their governments from London "are not welcome" ("Britain puts limits on its hospitality", 23 May).
In light of the facts that those Arab dissidents neither committed nor supported violence and that they are in London because their governments will not tolerate either peaceful opposition or demands for implementing democracy, it is both baffling and distressing to watch the indifference of Messrs Major and Hurd towards the activities of another group of dissidents in London against their freely elected government, namely the so-called "Bosnian-Serb representatives". Those people not only call for the dismantling of their UN member state but, more importantly, act to justify crimes against humanity and support the termination of democracy and pluralism in Bosnia to replace it with a racist, barbaric regime.
Yours faithfully,
