Appeal from PBI

We would like to thank you for your continued support of Peace Brigades International (PBI) and the many letters you have already sent regarding the situation in Aceh, Indonesia.

We are re-activating our emergency response network due to a further deterioration of the situation in Aceh since the introduction of new restrictions on the activities of international and local NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations). We are concerned that these new restrictions could force the withdrawal of PBI from Aceh.
