Teleattack on the Lao Embassy on the 100th Day of Sombath’s Disappearance

March 20, 2013
Dear All,
Thank you very much for all the help you’ve been giving to disseminate news of Sombath Somphone‘s disappearance, and the demand for his return. The wide clamor has reached the mainstream media nationally, regionally and globally, and has caught the attention of some world leaders. Still, Sombath has yet to be found.
On March 25, Monday, it will be 100 days since Sombath disappeared.
We would like to mark this day by launching a teleattack on Lao Embassies. We request you to please print out the attached flyer/ image above (a note in English, Lao and Tagalog asking for Sombath) and fax the same to the Lao Embassy in Manila on MONDAY, MARCH 25. The Lao Embassy’s telefax number in Manila is (02) 852 5759. You may please also ask to talk to somebody from the Embassy to ask one simple question: “where is Sombath?”
For friends outside Manila, please send the fax and messages to Lao Embassies in your respective countries.
If any of you have the mobile number of the Lao Ambassador, please share it with us, so we may also send the note thru SMS.
Please make as many calls and send as many faxes as you can. Please share this note and appeal to other friends and advocates for help.
Thank you very much for keeping the pressure up on the Lao Government. We do this also in solidarity with all the disappeared in the region and the world.
