Extremely interesting talk, extremely short notice

Nahoko I just got wind of this today, so please excuse the short notice. Nahoko Tokato, one of the Japanese activists taken hostage in Iraq in 2004, will be giving a talk at HKU today, Feb 13 at 17:30. Yeah, that's about as  short as notice gets. Anyway, here is the information as sent to me by a friend who's involved in organizing the talk...

"[N]ahoko was held hostage in baghdad in 2004 and released after 9 days. but it's not her adventure story i want to promote, but her great work she has done to the iraqi street kids. most important is her courage to expose the truth in the war time esp. the genocide taken place in fallujah. for the talk today, she will show us the video clips taken by the fallujah people during the most horrible time in  april 2004 - the heavy US bombing that created massive civilian deaths..."
