We would like to draw your attention to the recent provocative deportation of comrade Moara Crivelente, member of the CEBRAPAZ, by the Israeli border authorities on her way to visit the Palestinian Territories.

The World Peace Council (WPC) is in the sad position to anounce the passing away of our veteran leader and President of Honor Romesh Chandra today in Mumbai. Late comrade Romesh passed away in the age of 97, having served decades long the peace movement in India and the world.
